Good question Barry.

As far as I'm concerned, the only information I'll be gathering is log files
containing information such as source and destination addresses and other
information required for the purposes of system administration.  There will
no personal details intentionally collected.

As for disclosure, I intend to disclose to no one, but there will need to be
an exception to allow for law enforcement agencies (if it's discovered
someone's been using your AP to attack someone else).
