Alan Clegg gave a talk to NCSA (10 Nov 2003) about the reception you'll get from businesses if you tell them that their networks are open. You'll be invited into the office, the rep will excuse himself for a few minutes. You think he's gone to get the owner to enthusiastically shake your hand for your offers of help, but he'll return with someone from the FBI who'll handcuff you on the spot. If you really want to do this for a living, Alan advises you to first register with the police and the FBI telling them what you're about to do.
