Just so you know, "wardriving" is the practice of driving around and looking for wifi hotspots, but does not include connecting to them. Wardriving is legal, but piggybacking is not legal. Piggybacking is when you connect to someone else's wifi network without their permission. A lot of times ignorant news media thinks that wardriving = piggybacking which it does not. Wardriving programs turn your wifi device into a listening device only and during that time it can not connect to a wifi network in the first place. It's akin to driving down the street and writing down names on mail boxes or the house numbers.
I just wanted to clarify that, for anyone that did not already know that info.
