Dear List:

A thought from last months discussion. I wonder if a user (faculty or staff) had 
their machine to automatically connect at home to an out-of-the-box wireless 
router/ap (default configuration) and there was a nearby system at school 
with the exact same SSID, etc (default config) wouldn't that machine try and 
connect to the nearby wireless?

access to students' and staff's personally-owned machines in school. ...
