Study: Wi-Fi users still don't encrypt
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2003-07-03

Think you've heard more than enough about war driving and Wi-Fi insecurity? Two days of electronic eavesdropping at the 802.11 Planet Expo in Boston last week sniffed out more evidence that most Wi-Fi users still aren't getting the message -- or are comfortable broadcasting their e-mail into the ether.

I dont think you are complately true about eavsdropping. Basicly it(eavsdropping) is done by the help of a tool. But in general in real life when you hear some one by change it is called overhearing on the other hand when you intentionally try to listen either by the help of a tool or not it is called eavsdroping and it is ,at least, considered immoral and according the some law systems it is an offense as well. Sending unencrypted emails doesnt mean others have right to read them but that is true there is a huge negliance noone can deny
