Police to cruise streets for unsecured Wi-Fi

http://j.mp/GIuwRC  (Sydney Morning Herald)

   "Officers in the Hi Tech Crime Investigation Unit on wardriving
    missions will drive the streets of Brisbane with a laptop
    computer, looking for unsecured Wi-Fi networks.  Residents and
    businesses owners in targeted areas will then be mailed
    information about how to effectively secure their connection.
    Police will return to the area some time later to check whether
    residents have taken heed of the warning."
