It is wrong. You CAN be prosecuted, and it is NOT entrapment.

When you drive around town, looking for a WAP, with intent of using it w/o permission, it is akin to trying to buy something using a random numbered credit card.

Whenever I catch someone poking around in my wNet, I usually will Nuke em or toss a fragmented ICMP at them--my network...my ruleZ. Same as shooting a prowler that is INSIDE your house...its a legal (and feeds my dark side, too)
