Big story out of New Hampshire - legal war driving. A bill is moving through the house which puts the burden of security on hotspot operators. Very relevant to our interests. Follow this one closely.

A bill that's breezing through New Hampshire's legislature says operators of wireless networks must secure them -- or lose some of their ability to prosecute anyone who gains access to the networks.

House Bill 495 would, experts say, effectively legalize many forms of what's known as war driving -- motoring through an inhabited area while scanning for open wireless access points.
