Don't count on it. There was a widely publicized exploit at some big retail chain (maybe Target) when they did something like that over a wifi network a year or so ago. Attackers with the right gear had themselves a party. If you're moving data that represents real-world money, you have to assume someone will launch sophisticated attacks to get at it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
