In what prosecutors say is likely the first criminal conviction for wardriving in the U.S., a Michigan man plead guilty Wednesday to a federal misdemeanor for using the Internet through an open wi-fi access point at a Lowe's home improvement store in suburban Detroit.

I think that's terrible, and definitely feel for Timmins. Wardriving with the intent to just surf the net shouldn't even be a mindemeaner, maybe MAYBE more like a finable offense, like a parking ticket. People need to get smarter about securing their networks; if you keep arresting everyone who uses WAPS to check their email, the real criminals will come along and have it so easy.
How retarded.
