RfCat will keep you amused as you encounter new “home automation systems, smart meters, SCADA systems, “IOT” devices, mobile devices, and so many more” during summer travel.
From the catalog:
The RfCat USB Radio Dongle is custom hardware designed for use with the custom RFCat firmware written by At1as.
The RFCat USB Radio Dongle is capable of transmitting, receiving, snooping, SpectrumAnalysis on frequencies between 300-928MHz giving the user the ability sniff or attack any wireless data protocols that transmit in those frequency ranges. These include: home automation systems, smart meters, SCADA systems, “IOT” devices, mobile devices, and so many more.
The RFCat hardware is based on Chipcon “eleven eleven” (CC1111) and will (like all other INT3.CC products) be sold fully assembled and ready to use with simple instructions for setup and deployment.

At $75 plus shipping, RfCat is less than a one day ticket to Disney World ($105) ticket and can provide years of education and entertainment.
So far as I know, there are no commercial maps of weak hot spots, interesting network spots, known “IOT” devices, etc. Updated, downloadable maps of vulnerabilities at or near popular tourist destinations, could become the ubiquitous gas station road maps of yesteryear.
