Because Only Terrorists Use 802.11
skinnyd writes "Consultants working for the Department of Homeland Security have announced that the Feds view open WiFi as a means of abetting terrorists, and say that they will compel the open wireless operators will have to close off their nets. 'Homeland Security is putting people in place who will be in a position to say, "If you're going to get broken into ... we're going to start regulating."'
Secure Networks?!? My god what a concept! This is such a direct assault on my constitutional rights! Damn Feds! Next they'll want me to actually supervise my own childeren!
Shift happens. Fire it up.
You're a fucking idiot; What you're saying is absolute bullshit. If you really believe that make the fucking government tell Microsoft to get their fucking act together. More damage has been done by their products alone than anything else on the net. WiFi isn't what is insecure its corporate networks that are the core of the problem. Most corporate networks run Microsoft software; what the fuck does that tell you?
Americans have gotten what they deserve... just wish we could put you all somewhere further away... like the surface of the sun.

But there are no legitimate uses for the unlocked car.
What if I want to run an open WiFi network for legit uses only?
I think it would be more akin to someone taking one of those pen-on-a-ballchain's from a bank, unhooking it, and using it to jab someones eye out.
Bank didnt intend for it to be used like that, they just wanted it public. And even if such an event occured, they'd continue to have a public pen policy.
Pain lasts, kid. Its how you know you're alive. Sometimes I think this growing up thing is just pain management-TheMaxx
"Anti-Amarikin"
According to our president, it's "Un-Merrikin" to post as an AC in "Merrika". "Anti-Amarikin" is just too big of a word for him.
