It seems like you're missing the point. The only reason we're hearing about this is because Google is a huge, popular company and somebody leaked it. I could be listening to your wifi right now, and you wouldn't even know. There's no way you can know. Making it illegal isn't going to protect you.

The only way to protect your information is to not broadcast in the open.

Well if making things illegal doesn't protect us any more then we're in serious trouble here.

It's illegal to steal cars, so we can rest assured that it will never happen again.
