Hi Stonewall Well - I work for the Swiss Airforce, and we test our Wireless LAN's ourself, before "bad guys" will do it. I don't know about the law regulation in other countries, but if you only scan by stumbling - and no connection is made - it's legal in Switzerland. Even if the Wireless Area isn't protected, and someone breaks it, it's legal - because our laws tell it's not unlawful when it's not or only bad protected...
