True, hard to prove intent, but for the author of the original article,
and the original poster of the comment here, if they were to use one,
they would have a hard time proving that it was not their intent, since
they talked about jamming their neighbor's Wi-Fi.

It'd be awfully hard to prove intent, unless you announced it somehow.
