Full details will be released at Shmoocon this weekend, but in the meantime there's video of the equipment and articles all over the place."

    WarDriving = Driving around finding open APs.
    "WarCloning" = Driving around cloning RFID stuff.

    Shouldn't it be "CloneDriving" or something else? Though I suppose all of them are equally dumb. So nevermind...
