I'd prefer the analogy of stomping firmly into the puddle of wireless non-security.<br><br>I did not use or access the systems I saw.

What if they don't do anything with their pecans but ruin them with a lawnmower, can I dash in just be fore they mow and scoop up as many as I can to keep them from going to waste. BTW: this is a real situation and I have dashed and salvaged pecans before they mowed them all into oblivion - every year. I also offered them some but they weren't interested - so I don't any more.<br>
