SANTA CLARA, California -- Attention, Wi-Fi users: The Department of Homeland Security sees wireless networking technology as a terrorist threat.

"Homeland Security is putting people in place who will be in a position to say, 'If you're going to get broken into ... we're going to start regulating,'" said Cable and Wireless security architect Shannon Myers in a panel dubbed "Homeland Security vs. Wi-Fi."
You've got to be kidding me. How in the hell do they think that they can regulate wireless networks? They have a hard enough time regulating their own networks...

Are they going to drive down every street looking for Wi-Fi signals using pringles cans for antennas?

I have heard of so many people that want to do wireless in their houses. I discourage them as much as possible. Their main reason is so they don't have to run wires. I told them, forget wireless, I'll help you run the wires.

Main reason... I live near an apartment complex and all I have to do it take my laptop to the back yard and I have internet... and I don't even have a WAP on my network. Some goof in the apartments doesn't know what the hell they are doing. Now tell me why someone in an apartment needs a WAP? I mean, a 50ft cable would do just fine! Unless of course they like people using the internet they pay for.
