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

The justice system in this country is in a shambles. A nine year sentence for this crime is beyond unreasonable. What good are our tax dollars doing paying for his incarceration for this length of time? I think 2 - 3 years would be reasonable, fair and enough time for him to "learn his lesson". God knows what kind of person will come out of there in 9 years. What a waste of money and a life!!!!!
