Your question about encryption is an easy answer, at least here in Canada, I'm sure the US has a similar law. Here it is illegal to decode any radio transmission that you are not the intented recepient of. So if the network has no WEP, then fine you can receive the signals, but if it has WEP, then you are breaking the law if you 'hack' through the encryption to receive the signals.
