Gora, (and others) COnsider this scenario - The police goes around parked cars, trying to check their security (or rather, lack of it), and leave a note to the owners when they find an easy target. The reason - jacked cars can be used as dummies for planting bombs. Any thing wrong with that? And how different is scanning the cars from the proposal to scan the wi-fi links? > Here is a challenge!

Will you be equally magnanimous if the "samnewali chaand ka tukda" uses your connection to video chat with her "dil Ka ..." and use up all your bandwidth in the process? <grin> And what if the delinquent is a brat who downloaded p0rn and has left you a fat bill for all that bandwidth? > The truth is that so are 90+% of Wifis in India.

The article in question is only saying that the police will ask the owners of the concerned connections to secure tham - there is nothing about sending them to jail. -- Mahesh T.
