Gabe, You may want to sit outside a dorm and associate to one of the student's APs. From there, on your little network, you could theoretically launch any number of malicious activities, and then simply walk away. Log files would trace back to the student's wired port where his wireless device was plugged in, making the student to blame for your bad behavior.
Or, if you have a sanctioned campus wireless network that borders a res hall, see if there is interference. If you require users to authenticate before they join the campus wireless network but instead they can join some student's without credentials, the risks should be easy to show. The "what ifs" are fare better to talk about than waiting for actual damage done. Regards, Lee H.

We haven't really had any problems, so I'm sure I will get complaints if I take a more forceful approach. In order to prepare, I would like to have some examples ready. Does anyone have specific examples of problems they have had as a result of unauthorized access points? Network problems or specific security issues that I can use as examples would also be helpful.
