Well, unfortunately most people are not knocking on your door - they are jiggling your door handle. Now tell me there is no difference. And tell me a way to determine one from the other. And by all means, tell me that there is some legitimate reason why someone should be jiggling all the door knobs on your block. Please, because most of these arguments are hindering on that.

Furthermore, just because it's not illegal, it does not make it right. This issue is becomming so big, but it is still in it's infancy. The law is still forming, and you and I are part of that forming process. Leave the abscence of the law out of it. After all, are not all laws built upon some underlying idea of right and wrong?

I'm afraid this issue is going to begin to hit home when network scanners are able to determine far more information then they are now. Is it ok if someone checks to see if your windows or open, or if someone can fit down the chimney? When does it stop?
