Wireless Security By The Gallon

Posted by timothy on from the just-a-little-lead-ma'am dept.

prostoalex writes "The next effort to improve wireless security might involve a trip to Home Depot. Force Field Wireless sells buckets of aluminum and copped-laced paint designed to prevent the 802.11 packets from escaping the building, Information Week reports. The article also talks about the Firce Field's pitch to the government in order to improve the homeland security, but the only governments that got interested in anti-Wi-Fi paint were from the Middle East. According to the products page, they also sell the brush sets." Easier than wallpaper, or moving into an old house.

    All wireless communication should be encrypted in such a way that Homeland Security can intercept and understand the communication via an electronic key. Snooping on the communication is vital to national security.

    Many Taiwanese in the USA spy on behalf of Beijing. Only by snooping on their communication can we protect national security assets of this country.
