The difference between tapping cellphones and Wifi is the Cellphones are using Licensed Regulaterd Spectrum that the Telco's pay millions sometimes billions to aquire from the FCC. Wifi, is unlicensed, public use spectrum uder the FCC Part 15, or ISM bands. Technically, not for use by coporations. So if you war drive, who cares, if you then use that knowledge to hack and steal, then there is a problem. IMHO..
