Nice find, Really make you think. Using free wireless is illegal but not if there is a message saying public then it is not. Maybe I am not seeing the whole picture but I believe the burden of notification is on the owner/access point. This is the case in most states. Using the articles example of a radar detector, if you travel in to the state of Virginia you will clearly see the burden of notification in black and white on sign stating they are illegal. I am curious to here other thoughts.
