From the gist of it it sounds like the Apple Store manager had a bug up his @. The way read the article, the kids were just using Apple's free wi-fi to d/l a 3rd party app onto their hacked iPhone. Best I can tell the s/w was shareware or freeware and the kids were not trying to use the network to steal the s/w. Apparently though using a hacked iPhone was enough to cheese off the manager who detained the kids and called the cops! No arrests were made, though they should have cuffed the manager for wasting public resources.
The manger tore the kids a new one then banned them from the store, even going to the length of taking their photos and saying they were being send to Apple Stores worldwide. What a jerkoff. I hope Steve rips him a new one. The article says the kids were later "unbanned."
