Open WAP = Probable Cause?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the summon-sam-waterston dept.

RockoTDF writes "A court in texas has ruled that an open WAP is not a sufficient defense against child pornography charges, a ruling which could carry over to p2p users. In addition, it appears that an open WAP could be seen as probable cause by law enforcement."

    I have secured my wap.

    I hope nobody finds out that the passphrase is 0x01020304050607080910111213

    I also hope others do not do the same and we all create open accesspoints that are actually secure :-)

    Now we can claim we were hacked! problem solved and stupid lawyers and police are end run for at least a few more years.
