Wow. I can't wait to see this argument in court. "Your honor, his
radio transmission crossed my property, so I feel that I have every
right to break into his office and search his desk for any
incriminating evidence. It's only *fair*!" (Sound of bailiff
dragging Mr. Crockett to jail)
What do you base this line of reasoning on? What "right" do you
have to scan his network? If someone physically breaks into your
building, do you have a "right" to question anyone you *think* may
have done it? Break into *their* buildings and look for evidence?

I'm sure it would be. For his lawsuit against you, of course. Did
you stop to think that maybe the source IP address was spoofed? I
know, I know, that's never been heard of happening, but
*theoretically* it could.
