That's just to find unsecured neworks. Once it's found they just need to configure their computer to interface in the network. The Pringles can is just used as a sniffer so they know where they can try and hit it at and where it won't work.

WOW! And I thought you were half-kidding. I mean, like 2 cans and a string kind of thing. Well, at any rate, with my open ceiling basement, I can pull wire pretty easily. I could probably wire every room in the house in a few hours. So, while wireless would be easier, it isn't that hard for me to hard-wire the house.
