Voltage Rustlers

Does the term, above, invoke images of guys in bucket trucks, with huge spools of wire and cable, furtively lassoing high tension power lines?  It didn’t for me.  But it also didn’t invoke an image of some poor chap needing power for his laptop, sitting in a bus station, by an electrical outlet, typing on his laptop, which is plugged into said electrical outlet, being arrested for "voltage rustling."

Via Michael Jennings, at Samizdata, in a post titled “The new wild west of voltage rustling." Jennings’ post also offers some suggestions to private enterprises in regards to the need for juice for your electronic devices.
