Re: He got caught by:

A complete freak, no doubt.

How could you track him down? Well a starting point is the media access controller network ID. At some point it was purchased from a wholesaler or retailer. May lead to nothing but that's one example of how you get that ball rolling. Ever seen the ham radio/ airwave police that drive around? Maybe not in the US but in Canada we have those dudes. They could evolve to monitor wireless internet traffic by looking for that tube of invisible data and see what/why/when/where (ad-hoc etc). That's the best part of wireless, its out there u just have to know how to get it . Plus, do you honestly think the goverment would allow you to have a technology that they can't break into or know everything about? Ridiculous but in reality very hard to find that needle in the hay stack.
