RE: Wireless Security (Part 2)

Hey Herman,
Still doesn't give you the legal right to access their machine. I'm pretty
sure this is warrant territory. Call your local police etc and see what they
say.

The fact that you have the ABILITY to do this doesn't mean you have the
right/jurisdiction. Any access you may take up would no doubt void any kind
of legal argument you could use if you found incriminating evidence on the
machine in question. (ie how does the State/Court/Crown ensure that YOU
didn't put the incriminating evidence there).

Having a definite warning banner is a great idea because then the
unauthorized person knows for sure that they are not supposed to be there
and they have been told in no uncertain terms. Not sure about putting the
caveat about hacking them in kind(which is pretty much what you'd be doing).
