But, the deal is, you can't press criminal charges by suing someone.  It
just doesn't happen.  They'd have to call law enforcement and let them
take care of the criminal crap.

This is why you have a written agreement between yourself and the other
party that says something to the effect of, ``Hi.  I came to you telling
you that your network was insecure.  I told you everything that I found
out and even gave you the printed output of my utilities on paper.  If
you sign below, you may not sue me for causing damages or for hiring a
consultant for some outrageous sum of money to make sure I did not do
anything to your network and its related machines.''

Gee.  Appearance is everything, isn't it?

Well, gee.  Think about that one.  Everyone and their damned uncle
watch those crime shows and want to get into the FBI.
