As per my link to a direct article by the makers of the scanner he used, it is invasive. What more do you want?

Yes, passive scanning is fine with me, it's probably legal in most countries, but this is not certain (See Google and wifi). But I don't see the relevance to the conversation.

Passive automated scanning is fairly useless so it's not really used.

Fact is he broke the law at a criminal level and caused damage, if you can't see this, you really have no idea of the reality of the technology he was using.

But what should happen to him for it is a discussion for a different thread.
