Just to throw my .02 in here wasn't there a FCC ruling (for those of you in the US) that stated that you as a private citizen have the right to receive "any" broadcast radio signal. If this is the case then you would in essence have the right to listen in on any un-encrypted radio traffic. ---------------------------------------------------- This mailbox protected from junk email by Matador from MailFrontier, Inc. http://info.mailfrontier.com

It's just harder to intercept the data.A wired internet connection limits the number of people who have access to this data simply by the nature of the internet putting it within acceptable risk.Same can be said for wireless. (Except that the perimeter of the attack arena is defined by the wireless emissions instead of cable runs.)It is legal according to US law to eavesdrop on wireless connections.Maybe, INAL. But it is illegal to commit fraud with the data gathered by eavesdropping.2. Encrypt all wireless transmissions at least making someone who gains access to this data prosecutable.Uhm... someone that accesses and uses the data is already prosecutable.Please direct all flames to /dev/nullNeat. Never heard that before... :) -Frank
