What a great place to hack
Just think about it. If I were a hacker, and had wireless, and had my attack ready to go, where would I go to introduce it in complete anonymity? Any Wi-Fi hot-spot!

Even if the FBI did trace my worm or Trojan or whatever it was that I let loose on the Internet to that McDonalds, they couldn't prove it was me, and even if they did prove that I was at that McDonalds, then they could prove that it was my machine that let loose the viral payload.

What a great place to launch attacks from. Still think that widespread free Wi-Fi access is such a cool thing?
