More WiFi FUD

Will it ever stop? I thought stories about the "evils" of WiFi networks were finally ancient history, but every few months some non-tech-savvy reporter is convinced by someone that open WiFi networks are pure eeeeeeevil. It's not really worth going into the specific reasons why this article is poorly researched and written, but there's clearly still quite a ways to go before reporters stop rushing out "evil open WiFi" stories.
