Been doing a bit of digging around and it might not be as stupid as it first sounds.

Header packets are encrypted, and data is usually sent over 802.11n which has an effective range of about 190 meters. Simplifying the problem a bit because I don't want to do the trig, the maximum distance covered by a router will be 380 meters. If the truck is driving past a house at 40 kph so as to not cause traffic problems they will be in range of a network for 34 seconds. This means they would need to be in possession of a technology that can break WPA2 within 30 seconds. Considering it takes longer than that to break WEP this seems unlikely. This sort of technology would be kept as a state military secret.

So how easy would it be for the BBC to intercept and define the veracity/legitimacy of these "data packets" if one we're to employ the use of a VPN?
