You have conveniently left out the word "communication" from *your*
interpretation. Perhaps a federal judge would do the same, even in
the face of the prosecution repeating "communication, communication,
communication". e-mail is communication. I suppose to extend your
abusive interpretation you'd narrow that to "communications infra-tructure". 
No justification for it, but it might work to protect
a big corporation, but certainly never an individual - I guess all
that matters then is who comes to trial first.
