    Locks?

    In some areas, I supose. Around here the boxes are not locked, but are closed with a hex key.

    And plugging in a test set to a built in port is very simple.

    Want to bet? I can tap into the wires at pre-existing tap points either on the pole or uner the street. I can plug directly into your circut and the phone company recods will show that the calls came from your home. There will not be any alligator clips or cut wires. I could certainly do this while you are at home. Pure FUD.

    That is not true. Please show me an example of such liability claim that has withstood the test of the legal system. I looked and was unable to find any. I have 2 channels on my home wireless. One is part of my internal network, and is secured. The other is outside of my firewall and is open to anyone in range. I can spare the bandwidth, and I am working with others in my area who are interested in deploying a mesh style network.
