Spelling: WarDriving
Wardriving is an activity consisting of driving around with a laptop
in one's vehicle, scanning for Wi-Fi wireless networks.
Some people think war driving is illegal. Actually accessing
someone's network is illegal, but detecting the network is not.
This is unverified and AFAIK untested in Australian courts - can
someone verify this? -- TysonClugg [1]. Mmm, that wasn't the best
analogy really, now reading over it. *tired yawn*, perhaps it's time
to formulate another email to our mate Gary at the ACA -- gummAY [2]
