The UK law is clear, I quote from the UK Computer Misuse Act 1990 (http://www.opsi.gov.uk/ACTS/acts1990/Ukpga_19900018_en_2.htm):
from what I understand here in the US...
capturing airborne packets "may" be legal, but the moment you begin to "try" to "crack" a WEP key, you would be entering access restriction device realm instantly. ( do not pass GO! ) , as well, simply connecting to your target AP is illegal from the get-go ( gimme your dice! )
but my understanding is only a perspective, which may or not be completely askew...
