A lot of people don't realize how weak there passwords are, let alone their internet connection. I use wireless in my home, and I'm thankful I don't have a nerdy teenager that lives nearby, because he would probably be able to get all sorts of information just by sniffing packets. I took a Security+ course and they said, like you said, there is nothing 100% secure. It is really up to your level of tolerance. I could just go totally mad and not buy anything online, or look up what ever my whim seems to be, but I have to live with some level of trust that things are going to be OK. Congratulations radio superstar!!! I think AM is underated. ;) Hey Michael, sounds like you did a great service to the community.

It was purely an educational interview. I am sad that I didn't get to expound on the beauty of regulatory intervention but, y'know, sucks. :) Also, it was a really brief segment - four or five minutes, tops - and I would have felt guilty about friends getting up just to hear it when they can read it here for free at their leisure, you know?
