I have been reading and am wanting some other opinions. http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/cybercrime/wiretap2510_2522.htm ( this does pertain only to the US .. my apologies to those outside ) **snip** (g) It shall not be unlawful under this chapter or chapter 121 of this title for any person-- (i) 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; (ii) to intercept any radio communication which is transmitted-- (I) by any station for the use of the general public, or that relates to ships, aircraft, vehicles, or persons in distress; (II) by any governmental, law enforcement, civil defense, private land mobile, or public safety communications system, including police and fire, readily accessible to the general public; (III) by a station operating on an authorized frequency within the bands allocated to the amateur, citizens band, or general mobile radio services; or **snip** part III of the above pertains to the bottom 6 channels of wireless. ( channels 1 - 6 are in the amateur radio spectrum ) Does this mean if someone is not using WEP on those channels all their information is as open as something I pick up on the police scanner ? opinions ? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
