A little off-topic, but it's Friday...

Here's a pretty incredible story about security weaknesses in wireless
technology.  
A 17-year-old, NH high school student allegedly obtained credit card
information by driving around neighborhoods and grabbing the account
numbers from cyberspace with his wireless laptop computer by using his
wireless laptop to back into a resident's wireless hard drive accessing
the individual's account information.  With the credit card information,
he then allegedly used an embosser to manufacture cards and then swiped
them through an encoder to activate them.
