I'm sure you've heard about the problems with the 40 bit encryption for
these being broken. But I guess treating all LAN communication as if it
were on the internet would solve the problem. Hmm, what about my printer
with its own IP address? ... I could be the victim of a drive-by printing:
Dark van shows up sprouting antennae, sends "War and Peace" to printer,
tires screech as it pulls away...

Are there any security issues to using wireless internet that people should
be aware of?
