Hey guys,

Funny coincidence!

A while back, we talked about getting out and flyin around playing with
WiFi and looking for access points...  Well, someone did it!

CNN just carried a short report about some guys from TomsHardware.Com
(that hardware test/comparison site).  They jumped in two aircraft and
went "War Flying".  

In the report, they said it took no time at all to find more than 5,000
access points.  Their scanning software found that only about 35% of
them were encrypted or protected.  What an incredible statistic!

Anyway, read the article about their little test at
