    I'm using 802.11b on my laptop as we speak, I have no luck in getting it to work 2 rooms over or on the patio.

    So basically the person trying to steal my info would have to be hiding in my closet to even see the signal, nevermind cracked.

    Sounds more like the makings of a scary movie instead of a techno hacker thriller...
