Insult To Hackers

The Gujarath police thinks that only a techie could hack into an unencrypted wireless internet connection:

 Now, apparently, the word[hacker] means "someone who borrows someone else's open wireless connection." And this, according to the Gujarat police, is not easy to do: they suspect a "techie", a Wipro engineer of having done it.

If its complicated enough for the police technical wing(Is there one?), then it must be hard and hence hacker worthy. :)

Here's a news flash for our police and our equally moronic media: ANYONE with a laptop within a few tens of metres from the building in question could have used the internet connection, if it was unencrypted.
