NY Times on the 'danger' of open networks
The New York times has an overwrought article today titled Growth of Wireless Internet Opens New Path for Thieves. People are communicating and the FBI can't track them down! Gasp! Did they publish this sort of article when the first pay phones were built? It's not a crime to surf the web anonymously. An internet connection is a tool that can be used for good or evil, like a telephone, a car, just about anything. Special limitations on our civil liberties aren't needed.
I find it hard not to suspect the deep pocketed telecommunications companies aren't lurking in the background when I read warnings about the terrible dangers of sharing an internet connection you bought and paid for.
