Bizarre Porn Raid Underscores Wi-Fi Privacy Risks

alphadogg writes "Lying on his family room floor with assault weapons trained on him, shouts of 'pedophile!' and 'pornographer!' stinging like his fresh cuts and bruises, the Buffalo homeowner didn't need long to figure out the reason for the early morning wake-up call from a swarm of federal agents. That new wireless router. He'd gotten fed up trying to set a password. Someone must have used his Internet connection, he thought. Sure enough, that was the case. Law enforcement officials say the case is a cautionary tale. Their advice: Password-protect your wireless router."

    Thanks for the story. I always assumed that these people were morons. Now you've provided confirmation :)

    Really though...this is where the MSM has come...down to the lowest fucking common denominator. Most people are too stupid to know the difference, so we'll just make shit up as we go.

    I really don't know what is worse though in some ways - the irresponsible reporter who doesn't check his facts & publishes shit as news, or the festering turd plucking cheetos from under his giant fucking ass sitting in a recliner taking everything he sees on TV as the ultimate in truth.

    They're both responsible for how fucked up the country is.
