I'm afraid that using the words "activists" and "war" prejudice others in advance. In reality, I think "trainspotting" has more in common with "wardriving" than the so-called "activists" would like to admit.
For those who don't know what trainspotting is (aside from the movie), it's a slightly offbeat hobby wherein people watch trains go by, writing down the make/model of the trains and cars to compile lists and share with other enthusiasts.
Now doesn't that sound familiar? Substitute the words "SSID/WEP/signal strength" for "make/model" and you've got a pretty good analagous situation.
I haven't heard anyone call it "wartraining", though.
