Had to chuckle a bit yesterday as I was on travel and waiting in the airport
for the (late) plane. I fired up my laptop at this particular airport, which
I have been thru several times, to use a free WiFi access point I knew of to
grab my email and SSH back into some servers to get some work done while I
waited... Can you spot the fraudulent WiFi access point? I was quite amused
looking around trying to figure out who it was... The fraudulent access
disappeared a little while later as the planes started to board.
