So what is to keep some one from getting on an open wireless access point spoofing their MAC address and blocking their WINS name from ever showing up in the logs?? hmm nothing... This is retarded and will not fix a thing. It only lets snoopy gov deeper up our rears.

The ultimate goal here people is M-O-N-E-Y. When the govermnet can control the access points, then they have the ability to tax yet another freedom we currently enjoy. Also, we can keep on enjoying the Patriot Act for the rest of our lives here in the land of the free and the regulated. We are rapidly on our way to becoming another third world toilet. Pardon me while I puke.............
