Generally, it isnt the job of the state to protect the ignorant and the lazy. Sorry, but this kind of precedent is going to lead to even more draconian judgements over "computer trespassing" and "hacking." Computer crime laws aren't reasonable as-is and now with this new case law, they're arguably worse.

The ISM band exists within strict FCC control. There is no "don't sniff" provision and if there was, it would make promiscuous mode or applications like inssider illegal.
