    This was exactly the point I was trying to make in my first email.

    This information is already going public. 
    I have gotten several emails from newspapers
    and online websites (big names to). 
    
    The faster it is exposed the less damage people
    with not the best of intentions can do. Realisticaly 
    the underground community probably makes up 
    half or more of this mailing list. 
    
    I personally am going to scan my local stores tonight 
    to see if I can detect this problem. I cant trust 
    a company with my credit card info who cant even 
    setup a 802.11b lan correctly. I will let everyone 
    know what I find. 
    
    Thanks,
    Mike
