lol. 802.11* has it's uses and can be "safe enough"...but it's way overused and very rarely set up anywhere close to being secure. People think that just because their laptop loses the signal at the corner of the front yard, then someone would have to be that close to use their signal. Folders are shared all the time w/o passwords on the internal LAN, hardly anyone disables the administrative shares, they use a dictionary word w/ a number or two mixed in for their wifi keys...or even worse they use WEP, blah blah blah. Lots of false senses of security out there.
