I was reading about warballooning. It's a new event at Defcon. Basically it's a Kismet drone based on a modified WRT54G with a webcam, and a few high gain antennas.
The balloon will lift the drone in the air and will be remotely aiming at targets chosen by the Defcon participants. So after this one, together with WarSailing or WarFlying, I thought I heard everything. But no, there is another variation to the theme.
"Warcarting: when wardriving, warwalking, warflying, warrocketing, warballooning, warbiking, and warboating are just not good enough."
Some of it's capabilities are:
1) WiFi Sniffing.
2) Cordless Phone Recording.
3) USB Flash Drive Dropper.
4) Police Communications Monitoring.
5) Sentry-Gun-Style Smoke-Grenade Launcher.
6) General-coverage Radio Snooping.
7) Bright Lights.
8) Loud PA Speaker.
9) Extra Space.
More will be explained during the The Anatomy of a Subway Hack talk at Defcon 16 or have a look at the warcart website (mit.edu)It is a little conspicuous. Maybe some camouflage is in order?

I dunno. My Warcycle can carry quite a bit and already has about 600 lumens of light and can probably get away faster than a guy pushing a grocery cart :P
I /LOVE/ War* though. Great post.
