Was helping a friend over the phone connect at JFKs JetBlue terminal and a bunch of networks as you described came up. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Hey glad you posted this info.

What makes you assume they're hiding, when I setup fake APs I do it right in the open, now my fake APs are a little different then others out there, I force everybody to a "portal page" which asks for a bunch of PII. When they click on the submit button I have an onSubmit that basicly alerts them to their stupidity and suggests they buy an EVDO card :-D So best of both worlds, I get to play around with fake APs and increase security awareness of the common joe business traveler. And all the while no data reaches my box (remember the client-side javascript alerts them). Hiding?

Don't you think the airport should do something about this? How is it possible that you and I have seen the same rogue networks on different occasions? Where are these people hiding at? Or are they leaving behind hidden devices? How come airport security hasn't caught them? I’ve seen those same hotspots at a different airport and have wondered the same thing.
