Also, once again, the channel hopping is fairly normal for a wifi wardriving setup, feel free to go test this theory on your own, as well as go driving down the road at 25 - 50 Mph and get anything but a few packets of data from the wireless networks you do come across where the owners at the moment you are driving by are using their wireless, and data is being transmitted in clear text.

and if all of us accepted the stories of the corporate and government Powers then they could do whatever they like. There's an awfully big gulf between being skeptical of official stories and being so paranoid that it interferes with productivity. I'm certainly not interested enough to test any of this stuff... but my thought was OK, could they intercept GET requests to URLs off of google.com and that gives query strings etc? Even 100 URL+GEOCODE per hour would be win. I'd certainly be tempted to try it if they were my vans, if for no other reason than to see if it was possible. I'm doubting that the range is 25-50mph in residential zones btw.
