Right, I misread the question. I am not accessing my desktop via the Internet. (Which I take to mean that I don't want VPN for what I am doing.) I'm studying everyone's responses, and checking some stuff out on the Internet. I'm leaning toward buying a commercial disk encryption program and a firewall. I can now see that my laptop should be encrypted regardless of whether I am using a wireless connection. I appreciate people responding to a legal ethics question that they otherwise would not be interested in. So a specific "Thank You" to Tony, Alex, Bill Broadley, and Brian.
