Web Surfing in Public Places Is A Way to Court Trouble

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday October 23, 2006 @01:53AM from the just-a-gentle-reminder dept.

We had a story come in from the New York Times reminding people that web surfing in public places Is a way to court trouble. There's nothing in the story that is anything hugely new - but it does lead to an interesting question. What's the worst "on the road" security setups you've seen?

Public websurfing is an inherently dangerous thing to do. If you don't believe me, check out the "security now" article on ARP cache poisoning.

It's the scariest thing I've seen since the last time I was tricked into clicking a link to Goatse.

He wouldn't have seen/done much, as there is NO North Concourse at DIA. There's Terminal East and West(same building, different sides) and then Concourses A, B and C. Baggage is in the main Terminal.
