Lawrence you can also download an app called MacStumbler (google for it or look in Versiontracker) which tells you signal strengths, beeps when a new signal is found (great for one man wardriving) and tells you which signal is encrypted.
I doubt that you would get busted for it any more than you could get busted for hearing your neighbours stereo when the moron's got it on too loud.


        Good luck.

Lawrence,

Last Christmas eve, we were driving through a small ski town in
northern New Mexico, planning to ski Christmas Day.  It was late and
everything was closed, so it was impossible to ask around to find
decently-priced accommodations (the resort wanted $217/night).  So, my
son on his PC and my other son on my PowerBook looked for a signal as I
slowly drove down the main street in that town.  About every other
business gave off a signal that reached the street, and about every
third signal did not require a password.  We went to Orbit and found
our sleeping accommodations for the night, in another small town 10
miles down the road (paid $45/night).  From there, we got MapQuest's
help for directions, and took a screen capture of it.
