Then again you are talking about a mall. A mall that is on private
property. Totally different story.
  

Not radio signals entering my private property against my will.

So back to my last email.  If I walk onto private property and access
that AP then I've done wrong?  Yes.  Even though accessing the AP may
not be illegal, I can be prosecuted by trespassing.

If I access that ap from my private property not on their private
property, have I done wrong?  Don;t know.  There seems to be no law that
I know of that covers this one. So until a landmark case is heard or a
law is developed, All of us here will be opinionated on this subject. 
Otherwise do whatever the hell you want.  I'll be sure to lock down my
stuff.
