but you forgot something. Your packets are deliberatly designed to initiate a response from someone else's router. The router is passive, you are active. you are conciously acting to interact with the router. The packets that the router sends out, prior to your interaction are intended by the owner of that router to be for his/her machine, not yours. the fact that they are general does not change the intention for them to be private, unless specfically stated otherwise. Only once YOUR machine responds can they become specfic to your machine, otherwise the router doesn't even know you are there.

You understand this is the 'she wanted it, officer' defense? Is this really your justification?
