One important caveat: this would be useless if the access point is using WEP, which uses the same key to encrypt each client's traffic. It would be trivial to modify Firesheep or any other tool to be able to overcome this. My understating is that WPA is somewhat better since it uses the pre-shared key + a per-session key, though that per-session key could still be sniffed if the attacker captured the handshake when the target first connects. So neither option is secure but WEP would just be snake oil and little better than clear-text.
6. TSA shall provide passengers with effective and expeditious means to (a) inquire about TSA's CAPPS2 privacy policy; (b) access, consistent with national security considerations, to their personal information and correct that information; and (c) resolve complaints about the collection, accuracy, processing, or use of personal information.

Uh, was I the only one who got the wrong article on the "magnetic pulse gun" link? It should be here.
Etherape is a good real-time program for visualizing connects to you and their relative traffic. While it only runs on *nixes, you can set up box for monitoring your uplink. Also check this post from last year: http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/0 6/17/135220&tid=172&tid=141&tid=8
