Thank GOD. But I still think the best option is to just dump a can of this paint on the offenders and then light them on fire.
Much more direct. And you don't have to listen to them yap to the person next to them about how their cell phone isn't working.

It also gave the IT security sweep here major holy crap fits. I was broadcasting several hundred AP's all with dictionary names and linksys,dlink,etc.... so when he fired up his expensive Wifi detection system it was overwhelmed.
Quite funny to watch an "expert" fall to pieces because he does not know what is going on. I cant wait for the next one so I can follow him around with my zaurus claiming it is an open accesspoint and giving out a DHCP lease that matches the building's network addresses.

You're both annoying the crap out of me; please surrender yourselves at your local police stations for re-education (and a free beating).
