Man Arrested for Using Open Wireless Network
DaCool42 writes "In Tampa Bay, a man has been arrested for using a wide open WiFi AP. The St. Petersburg Times has the full story. 'It's no different if I went out and bought a Microsoft program and started sharing it with everyone in my apartment. It's theft,' said Kena Lewis, spokeswoman for Bright House Networks in Orlando."

If I had mod points, you'd get 'em.

This is slightly OT. You've been warned.
A parallel can be drawn between the sentiments you expressed as a property owner forced to lock your doors, and the security situation the USA is in regarding illegal aliens crossing our borders.
Illegal aliens are a lot closer morally to the burglar that breaks into your home, then claims "squatter's rights" in order to stay. People and organizations that assist in the actions of those "burglars/squatters" are also breaking the law. It's called "aiding and abetting", or "conspiracy to commit". Why do these organizations get not only tax exempt status, but often even get financial aid from our government, instead of prosecution and prison time?
If a real life burglar comes thriough my door or window, I'm going to plug the m*f*er and claim self-defense. Political correctness has run amok in this country, because we're not only setting up food banks and welcome wagons for our "undocumented guests", we're also giving them our jobs. (Those jobs that aren't already being shipped overseas, that is.) Check out this news aggregator website: "www.cis.org" for more details.
