Heh. US is concerned about security? That's a joke. They run what Schneier calls a "Security Theatre", that's all. Second: I think you need to read up on contemporary German history (post WW2) - they have suffered a lot from terrorism than many of their European neighbours. Look up Baader-Meinhof, for example. Or the sad events of Munich Olympics of 1972. India's stand - so far, nothing. If someone runs an open Wifi and if that connection is used to make mischief by persons unknown, the owner of the access point is "questioned" until he's cleared. I personally prefer to have the choice of running an open Wifi or not, mine. Not enforced by the government. Binand -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
