Personally..

I predict 2004 as the first year we see some innocent war driver be put in federal prison under the terrorist law. I also predict we will see martha stewart acknowledge her affair with bill gates. And I cant wait to see the distance records for wi-fi this year!
I don't approve of war driving, but I guess it's natural outgrowth of the wireless technology
Your second sentence is quite funny [good god...]
However, the first one might be closer to the truth than you think. Given the mindset on terrorism (and the fact that almost anything can be label that) and the fact that that people [including the government] are bad about securing networks, a innocent war driver,may just access a site that has 'secure' information,
and may wind up in jail as a terrorist, for hacking into a network. Hacking is a defined as being a act of terrorism, and a former version of 'war driving' was 'war dialing' or 'modem scanning' that was a popular for finding unsecured networks, and was a popular hacker activity (I don't like the word 'hacker', but the media has irrevocably tarred it, so..) |

Well why would someone do that? Half of war driving is looking to see whats on the wireless network. Any idiot can get one of those little wifi key chain finders, and find access point after access point.
Being able to look around is half the fun. |
