Or when innocent civilians need secure wireless infrastructures, to be able to coordinate to avoid murderous US military forces. See, for example: http://electroniciraq.net/news/1014.shtml which I found via SF writer James P.

But beware of American direction-finding equipment -- make those calls short!
