Bruce Schneier, Steal This Wi-Fi:
“Whenever I talk or write about my own security setup, the one thing that surprises people — and attracts the most criticism — is the fact that I run an open wireless network at home. There’s no password. There’s no encryption. Anyone with wireless capability who can see my network can use it to access the internet.
To me, it’s basic politeness. Providing internet access to guests is kind of like providing heat and electricity, or a hot cup of tea. But to some observers, it’s both wrong and dangerous.”

Now there, what a generous idea. I wonder if Bruce lives near me because I have no wireless network set up, yet when I turn on my iPod touch in my living/work space I am always connected to a wifi network Sitecom, which I know is the name of a device. Bruce, where do you live?
