The person operating the wireless network

What person? 90% of the time I guarantee places won't have someone dedicated to doing a person to person search to see who's using the network.

Thanks Zack.

I live in Australia so I'm 100% certain most of these don't apply to me, but; some of those seem absolutely ridiculous, others I can kind of understand why they were implemented.

The billpayer/network administrator, if savvy-enough, might choose to look into the problem if they notice their bandwidth/cap is being used up.

i doubt that anybody will casually [and publicly] bet $2000 in a pub. even so, if you were to bet that amount of money, why would you go around telling people about it so you can get arrested?

Just connecting to my routers administration panel gives me a list of all devices connected to it.

Alcohol + Gambling == ^^^

That said, in non-pubs, I find it difficult to comprehend why such a law would exist, especially in places like Las Vegas. $2000 is small bet in many tournament games, once the blinds are raised high enough.

Oh yeah, don't most wirelesses have a password now anyway?

We were kind of talking about public places, like McDonalds perhaps. They're not going to employ someone just to assess Internet usage right?

It's because $2000 is just an arbitrary limit at which you can be charged with running an illegal betting ring and/or racketeering if you're not betting in a sanctioned parlor or sports club with a bookie.

I think the betting over $2000 or whatever in a pub is because gambling past a certain amount of money is taxed. By doing it in a pub (or any other establishment which is not licensed as a gambling establishment) you are essentially performing tax evasion.

Thank being said, I don't know if gambling is taxed by the government in either the US or the EU

[the hacker]

In a state in the US it is illegal to cross the border driving with a chicken on your head.

That's my state!

I live in Alaska... So I see #3 broken many times, I actually think I hear it as some police calls over the scanner here, too.

Strange the irony in some/most of our laws.
