Wardriving guilty plea in Lowe's wi-fi case
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2004-08-05

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.

There are no major corporations buying their way into gov't to increase the sentences of Child Molesters. But you bet you they will fight for things that affect them.

At what point will it be a crime to "accidently" expose consumers to probelms. At what point will a Lowes be in the wrong, MORE SO, then the war driving.

Yeah they did something wrong, but didn't Lowes also?

Lowes claims 2.5 Million... Couldn't the consumers also then claim 2.5 million in potential losses.. (ie MC VISA....)

Imagine Driving down a street, seeing a large building, with big openings in the building. You stop and walk in. No doors, no employees, no name, just lots of products. No signs, No price tags, no cash registers.
