Unless of course, the IT Group from LOWES actually installed the AP, then the Head of IT should be fired. or his boss, or so on...
Someone in the Lowes organization needs to be brought to justice for the stupidity of this incident.
(Note: if LOWES Actually didn't install the Open WIFI, I'm sure it's not well known that this is NOT ALLOWED as LOWES claims, as there are several stores with open WIFI... not just the one that these two were caught at...)
