Netstumbling

HI, I need some advice.

I am interested in the reaction that list members have gotten from various
government agencies while netstumbling.  Is there any clear guidance on the
legality of 'stumbling?  I am talking here about just 'stumbling, not set to
auto reconfigure the card, just assessment and locating WAPs.

You cannot be in the security business without being able to assess threats.
In this business, paranoia is not paranoia, it is due diligence.  I believe
that anyone serious about security must be able to assess wireless zones,
overlapping areas, buildings with multiple WAPs, etc.  But have you been
threatened by LE personnel in the process?

Thanks in advance for your info.
