Possibly the CFAA?

• patcheudor 7y ago
  The CFAA only applies to protected computers and intrusion into those computers. Watching network traffic or modifying network traffic in a MitM possition, without using found credentials doesn't seem to rise to the level of a computer intrusion. Of course, it's unlikely a protected computer is going to be connecting to a public WiFi AP in the first place.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_computer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_computer
