i think what's being overlooked here is the actual meaning of the term "wardriving" which is the act of scanning, just to see what is out there. but NOT connecting. timmons connected. knowingly or not that it was public, once he connected, he broke from wardriving. a most excellent way to deliniate public vs private wireless networks can be found at http://nocat.net/
