[wplug] wireless vs non?

[Richard Farina]

Wired networked of any kind require physical access to become a part of the 
network or see the traffic.
Wireless networks are in the air and can be picked up a sometimes 
substantial distances and if left insecure it's like handing out long cat5 
cables to people you don't know so they can use your network.

So, IMHO, wireless networks are inherently less secure.
