It's like setting up your living room on the main road with TV on one side and sofa on the other, then being pissed when people can see you watching smut on TV. No pretty much *all* routers for the last few years come with WiFi off or with a secure default password. Basically what Google did was set it up in promiscuous mode to listen and find what's going on in relation to WiFi Network names, and they dumped all traffic so that it could be later analysed so they could accurately map out wifi locations to help your cellphone get a faster lock instead of GPS. Again, nothing wrong with that. Anything that was securely transmitted using WEP or WPA / WPA2 was not touched. Anything that was openly transmitted without any encryption was not looked at the contents of it, and it was subsequently destroyed.	Chilling_Silence (9)

1358614	2013-11-12 22:41:00	Not taken away, more pointed out. Yeah we tried, but there was much kicking and screaming and wailing... So Cato, we decided you can keep it, but we'd just publicly make sure that anybody else reading this thread *knew* that your opinion was just that, and that it was *not* fact. You're welcome.
