" It would be foolish to stand by
an idealistic "wardrivers" ethic."

Wrong.  If we maintain our OWN set of rules, standards, and ethics, then
there is no need for ANY government to legislate them for us.

"Also, hacking tools available on the web could be monitored and if
necessary, their operations shut down."

What is your definition of a hacking tool?  I guarantee it's much
different form mine or anybody else's.  I would hate to see what the
federal government would define as a hacking tool.  I would hate even
more for any operation to be shut down for providing "hacking tools".  

If the WarDriving community polices itself, there will be no need for
laws to be passed.  

And there is plenty of room for interpretation when it comes to
legality.  Many laws are written unbelievably vague to serve more
sinister purposes.  (DMCA???)  Government involvement would be the worst
thing to ever happen to this or any other community.
