[URC] Those dangerous radio geeks

This happened last week to a guy in Sydney a couple of hours after
putting up a wireless AP.

	Got home in the arvo today with four cops outside my unit.

	Apparently it was due to a black box which I've placed on the
	fence. Some neighbours got so alert (but of course, not alarmed)
	that they called 1800123400, thinking it was a bomb.

	The cops were extremely rude, unprofessional, pushy, and
	threatening. One of the two women was very patronising too - why
	can't they be nicer to people?

	I've cut the wire to the weatherproof box (hosting an access
	point) and opened it up and showed it to them - it's a very
	deadly 2.4Ghz microwave radiation weapon.
