It crossed my mind that you might consider that a possibility…

Some guy went warflying over

Some guy went warflying over the Los Angeles basin. Wardialing is/was having a computer call larger numbers of phone numbers in sequence looking for modems, wardriving followed and was driving around a neighborhood with a laptop and a wireless card looking for open wireless access points. the logical extension of this is warflying, using a gps and a hardcore antenna to look for open access points.
It looks like he flew right over my apartment, as well as another I know that has an open access point, but neither of them show up in his list of APs. I have to imagine that the 2200 or so access points he found were a small fraction of the ones he flew over, and that a huge number had signals that deteriorated significantly due to concrete and the antenna didn’t pick them up.
