I hypothesize the FBI wants to expand its credit card fraud division, and the way to accomplish that is make it possible for a thief to simply open his Wifi at Starbucks, run the right script and snatch unencrypted CC's out of the air.
The resulting influx of credit card theft would do wonders for the headcount and political importance of the credit card fraud investigation department...

There was just some discussion in the news the other day about the Secret Service being stretched too thin because of all the time they spent on investigating financial "cyber crime" vs. guarding the president and such. Anyway, here's a couple links on what to report to which: Secret Service: http://www.fraudaid.com/solution_center/jurisdictions/usfed-secretservice.htm http://www.fraudaid.com/solution_center/jurisdictions/usfed-...
