This was the statement that kinda bothered me, "These days you have war drivers all over 
> doing shady things because WAP's & tools a common". If it had had a quantifier <sp> of "some" Wardrivers doing shady things I don't think it would have bothered me.  In all honesty I wish I understod WAP, WEP, WPA-PSK, etc. all I know is on my wireless router I am using WPA-PSK with a 32 letter password that I let my son make up and then my wife and I wrote it down 3 times so we could get it right. :) If someone cracks it, they may be able to get my 32.00 bucks in the bank! I do know what you mean by unprotected networks though. At my wife Neurosurgeon (she was having back surgery) I turned on the computer and was amazed to see the Neuro office come up (they used their exact name) and there was not a bit of encryption. Anyone could have walked right in. It's amazing, especially with all the new HIPA privacy laws that went into effect last year or so. Take care.
