Not even close to wiretapping.

If you broadcast the information unencrypted, it’s not the same as a physical tap.

This would be more synonymous to recording phonecalls broadcast over speakerphone and amplified with outdoor speakers.

Not that I condone the logging, but some responsibility for data security should fall either on the router manufacturers or *gasp* the network owners and users.

Not even close to wiretapping.

If cell phones use RF signals to broadcast private messages with voice or SMS text as well as Internet email and web page access to cell towers and then cell towers re-transmit these signals to phone networks to distribute, why do you believe that Google's interception as 'man-in-the-middle' of RF WiFi signals is not even close to wiretapping ?
