We've been speculating a lot here about the legal distinctions when a system 
is hacked but nothing harmful is done.  I would strongly suggest that anyone 
who's really concerned about this do some reading on computer law and/or get 
some real legal advice.  Even in this artificially paranoid environment, most 
law requires that some actual damage be done before there is any prosecution. 
 
Of course, this doesn't apply when it's you - you break some minor code and 
the administration decides you're gonna be the example...
