I think it's a bit trite to suggest that somehow there are laws governing the use of an open wireless Internet connection and not quote them specifically. You throw out all sorts of inuendo and rhetoric suggesting that the Patriot Act has anything to do with this discussion is way of base. You also suggested that the US Code Section had anything in it to make it illegal. I went to the section you suggested and found it to be exactly the opposite, "It shall not be unlawful under this chapter or chapter 121 of this title for any person - to intercept or access an electronic communication made through an electronic communication system that is configured so that such electronic communication is readily accessible to the general public;" Then you say that was not the right section. Why don't you provide us with facts quoting the sections of law that are appropriate for this discussion, instead of the horse manure you are presenting here?
By the way, you can read about the Patriot Act and the US Code section here: http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/2511.html http://www.epic.org/privacy/terrorism/hr3162.html I won't take up any more of the lists time until I see FACTS, not conjecture where the "sky is always falling".

About what? The truth? I know you don't deal with issues like this on a daily basis like I do so I'm going over look your comment. Ignoring the law is your decision. If you would like me to cite specific cases from west law or pacer I will gladly do so. I have given articles involving people who have been prosecuted for exactly what you are saying is legal when in fact it is not as the evidence shows. Taking a "maybe they will maybe they won't" is not a responsible path. Have a nice day........... Daniel Thor Kristjansson wrote: > You know I'm going to put marcel in my kill file.
