A few months back we had a discussion going about whether or not a
person who has setup a Wi-Fi network for their and their families
use.  And IF someone illegally connects to said network if the person
who setup the network has the right to go into the other person's
computer to find out who they are.  The consensus is/was that sadly
no the person who setup the Wi-Fi network doesn't have the right to
go into the intruder's computer to find out who they are.

What IF the person who sets up the Wi-Fi network has a web page, or a
dialog box that is displayed that says the following whenever a new
computer signs onto the network:

                                WARNING

   You have connected to a PRIVATE COMPUTER NETWORK

IF you were NOT invited to join the network then leave now.
IF you continue to use the network, know that by doing so
you consent to having your computer inspected for the purpose
of finding out who you are so that the proper authorities can
be notified.
IF you leave now no actions will be taken, but IF you continue
then the appropriate actions WILL be taken, you have been WARNED.
This is your ONLY warning, leave NOW.
Also know that along with your name your computers MAC address will
also be recorded, and blocked in the future.

        If the above is setup as a web page then the capitalized words would
be in bold as well as red to catch the person's attention.  Also with
the above they wouldn't be able to say that they weren't warned,
correct?
