Um, then secure your network. If you're too ignorant/stupid to take care of your own stuff, you deserve a visit from the authorities
You perhaps have noticed that you can get wireless switches now from BestBuy and CompUSA for about $49? But yet do any of them come with a wireless security tutorial?
Methinks not. Thousands of clueless users...unless the default setup is actually secure for a change (hopefully). Accident (or should I say, exploits) waiting to happen, and I'm sure they will whether I / you / we like it or not.
