Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Certified Legal Nurse Consultants: Time to Start Practicing Safer Wireless Surfing

I spend a lot of time in airports. Sometimes it seems that the actual flying is the shortest part of the trip. The greater amount of time is spent getting to the airport, passing through the body-cavity checks and double-TSA pat-downs (I’m a sucker for the pat-downs). Then there’s looking for the closest Starbucks®, food (preferably Popeye’s Chicken) and restrooms (in that order). Eventually I find myself sitting in the airline’s lounge chowing down on free drinks and peanuts or sitting on the floor outside the gate with the rest of the steerage passengers I boot up my laptop and log onto the closest free Wi-Fi signal I can find. Here’s a savvy geek-traveler trip – look for the largest airline club. They often have free Wi-Fi for their members and you can soak up some of the over-flow/leakage just by sitting outside their lounge with your wireless card switched on and sponging off their service.
