It sounds like Milner has a conscience.
But the conduct of his managers when faced with the issue is troubling.
OK, so if wardriving (sniffing wireless networks other than your own) is legally in the clear, then should everyone start collecting data? If Google does it, then it must be a business opportunity, right? As long as people don't do anything illegal with the data[1], what's the harm?
This is why paying serious attention to encryption, and making it easy for people to use, might not be the mere fodder of "tinfoil hats" that some portray it to be. Maybe it's just plain common sense.

Setting up WPA2 on your Wifi router is not very hard. Most routers now will do it at the push of a button. (I personally don't do it that way, I set everything up by hand through the router's web interface, but that's because I'm a techie.)
