Do a little research first - before you spout off.

The Federal Law pertaining to wireless devices is that you can receive anything that is put out over the air.

Most of the devices in use today, other than amateur radio says that you have to be willing to accept any interference that lawfully comes along and you must not cause any interference to lawful devices - such as amateur radio - since it is a licensed radio service.

At one time - cordless telephones were on a low VHF frequency - around 49 MHz, you could program a programmable scanner and listen to telephone conversations - legally.
The only thing that was illegal was calling up someone and telling them what you had heard on someone else's cordless phone...
It was not illegal however to say - hey, come here a minute, listen to this.

The Term Wardriving pertains to the act of driving around looking for open Wi-Fi service. To do it, all you have to do is set the computer to a static IP and ride around until you find a open router.

Using web services such as Wigle - you can find wireless internet that has been logged in your neighborhood.

If you went to school for Information Science Technology - you would learn that the most common passwords for a router is their name, 12345, myrouter, password... It's not hard to hack a router in an urban area...
