Westlaw.com provide though an easy to access source data
which is already part of the public record (you just may
need to do more research instead of a single point of data).
If you are connecting to westlaw.com it should be through
https (secure connection). This is encrypted. And is not
really where the the article was really talking about.

You missed understand my question, Alex and I said the same
thing. If you are using WiFi on your laptop to remotely
connect to your desktop you need to use some VPN style
software. The weak point is your laptop using WiFi. That
side needs to be secure and you need a tunnel between
the laptop and desktop which is encrypted thus the VPN
software.
