What? the strip-searches and whole body scanners? Things that have been thoroughly debunked by experts in the field? This is a whole debate in itself and perhaps largely OT here, so let us take this off-list. > Questioning is another thing.

And as far as I know, there is no law that prohibits open Wifi in India, so there is no violation or reason for going to a court. >> I personally prefer to have the choice of running an open Wifi or not, >> mine.

Well - the difference is that you venture out without helmet/seat belt onto *public* roads - where this decision of yours could very well make the difference whether someone else using the very same public road is charged with simply "rash driving" or the more serious and life-changing "culpable homicide not amounting to murder". But on the other hand, you run an open Wifi AP on your *private* property - which is yours to do as you damn well please. Binand -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
