Interesting articles. Thanks for posting.
The open wireless defense is interesting. Is there a log somewhere of when a user turns off their router's wireless capability? Could someone simply say they noticed performance issues on their computer and just recently discovered the wireless feature was enabled and as part of an ongoing troubleshooting effort turned it off? Just coincidence that the turning off time frame was right before the seizure of their "personal" computer. Even if such a log exists ... the intruder was obviously highly skilled and able to falsify the log.
Seems to me the courts are bullying the innocent and thus being top tier hypocrites. Innocent until proven guilty ... unless we find that inconvenient.
