This is interesting. If _I_ did this while trying to find an open network, I'd probably be described by the FBI man who tries to charge me with unauthorized network access as using countermeasures learned from al Qaeda's IT guys. If Apple does it on behalf of users though I'm sure it would be fine.
And yes, I've been involved in a criminal proceeding where the government tried to claim that changing a wifi MAC was evidence of malice.
- octo_t 12y agowell changing the MAC can be evidence for this: imagine you get banned from your university network for breaking the terms of use (lets say torrenting) - you change your MAC address so you can get back on the network. you know you've been banned and you've made the conscious decision to bypass the security of the network.
