A few weeks ago a USA Today reporter called me and asked me what I had heard about companies pulling 80211b installations due to security concerns. I had not heard of any such instances and told her so. She was slightly inaccurate about what was going on: turns out that high-security places like the Lawrence Livermore National Lab (as reported this week by Matthew Peretz on 80211-planet.com) have instituted policies against 80211 networking due to security concerns. And she drew the conclusion that if the Lawrence Livermore National Lab banned wireless networking, therefore wireless networking was inherently insecure and should be used -- if at all -- with a great deal of caution.
