SSIDs that read "Public access point" may constitute permission and therefore can be accessed without further permissions. PFScan only shows wireless signals and the details about those signals, no data is accessed on the sites and no data is intercepted. Refer to the laws of your area before connecting to an open site.Based on code examples by Zoltan Demeter and other fine mobile device developers
