Brian,
Good point. A bit more absolute than my life could handle. I do have the
technology background to deal with a Faraday Cage, but, this is not the
point. And, I choose not to build one.
I freely accept the compromises I have made to play Internet to meet my
needs ATM (since 1970). I accept your professional position. I've read
your sig. Let's just agree that my query, in your words, might have
something to do with levels of paranoia and leave it at that.
Best,
Duncan

If you absolutely want to ensure your security and privacy, then you should
live in a Faraday cage and never use the Internet. Everything else is just
various shades of compromising your security for the sake of functionality
or ease of use. That's fine, as long as you realize that anything other
than the cage and no Internet has some compromise on security.

Brian,
TNX. Yes, am aware of the new WPA2 encryption, and, this website. GRC and
I have been friends for many years.
I accept that WIFI will fully mature as it gets pushed harder into the
consumer space for all things INTERNET. I simply choose to delay this
technology at my home until my current LAN tech no longer works.
Computing and Mobility remain mutually exclusive issues to me.
Just remember that Gibson stated that WPA was completely safe whilst WEP
was not. Now that has changed to WPA2. I use wireless happily, but it's
not cable.
