[ale] wireless security

[jkinney at localnetsolutions.com (James P. Kinney III)]

It's a total waste of time trying to secure wireless connections with

Drop a totally open high gain antenna WAP in the network outside the
firewall and secure the stuff on the network. If sniffing data is deemed
bad, require VPN connections.
