RE: [WISPA] State Lawmakers Want To Limit Internet Porn Access
I haven't read all of the calea law yet ... what part of it says anything about blocking access, I thought it was about traffic sniffing, not traffic censoring? Smells like FUD to me.

This article (does something that small really count?) ignores the fact that there are a number of circumstances where you would WANT your access point to be open, with no security or encryption. Don't you just love it when politicians try to make technical decisions for which they're ill-qualified? (As an aside, which state agency has the time and the budget to enforce this, should it become law?) The smart teens just download their porn at home and clear the browser history when they're done, thus circumventing this law anyway :D David Smith MVN.net -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
