You think detecting and dropping modem calls from a CO is tough? I'm waiting for it to be a PATRIOT offense for using an antennae to hit a cellular basestation other than the nearest one an omni would hit. Or to be operating a motor vehicle on a public road with an operating computer with an 802.11 card. Or photographing any federal building or official. At least the tragicomicretins in http://www.wired.com/news/wireless/0,1382,56742,00.html invented the cool new acronym: TAP, "terrorist access points". This is a concise (if hysterical in both senses) Spec of a useful system. If its good enough for Everyone, its good enough for the Horsemen. If its not a TAP, you might as well paint a friggin bullseye on your back. --- Orwell was an optimist.
