While none of this suprises me, I'm really suprised that more people aren't
using encryption software like PGP.  It is so easy to packet sniff network
traffic and look at what's happening, and the security on wireless networks
is nearly non-existent.  Every computer user should protect their privacy.
It seems while firewalls have caught on with a fair number of computer
users, encryption has not.  Strange...
