Possession of Cantenna Now Illegal?

Mad-Mage1 writes "The recent arrests in Florida and the UK of men who were accessing unsecured wireless hotspots has created a flood of articles that contain panic inducing rhetoric. "A small subset of computer-savvy hackers has the know-how and gadgets for more nefarious activities," claims the Sacramento Bee (via Techdirt). "They're (Pringles cans fashioned into antennas) unsophisticated but reliable, and it's illegal to possess them," quips Sacramento County Sheriff's Lt. Bob Lozito of the Sacramento Valley Hi-Tech Crimes Task Force." I hope they tell Fry's about all the illegal antennas they're stocking, too.

Wow... nothing in your posts (that includes your first ramble, and the second, somewhat off-topic reply) resembled any form of coherent English whatsoever. I would make a joke about you being six years old or something, but my guess is that you're not from this country.

Anyway, if you could explain your situation in an easier to understand form, please do so.

Love the Sig... (off-topic)

Just to get offtopic for a second, I love your Sig. I have a 229.
