I think wf-fi should be secured because.....
If someone downloaded child porn from your internet connection
the police would only have your IP address to go on...

Lets say you have a wireless router and your other half uses a laptop
only to access ebay, email, mums chat sites via wi-fi in another room.
Main PC is hard wired to the router
When exactly would you know that someone else is accessing your
network.... My router doesn't suddenly alert me to bandwidth theft.
My network is secure.... But we live on a remote farm and sometimes
there are cars that use one of our access roads to avoid being done
for drunk driving. We tried closing the gates and the locks were smashed.
I am not going to sit outside my place all day looking for freeking wi-fi theives.
This shit happens, when will people wake up and secure their connections?
Probably never ! ! ! ! !
If Paris Hilton were to drive up and knock on the door, I would set the dogs on her !
