Wireless cam catches child abuser

Remember the early wireless phones, how you sometimes accidentally could hear your neighbour talk or some other conversation between total strangers? No you can get pictures.

This is actually an example of a terrible violation of privacy and integrity that led to something good.

A neighbor with a new wireless camera accidentally caught an alleged case of child abuse at a foster home in Milwaukee where the children were forced to hold their hands in the air for more than an hour.

Perhaps this whole wireless thing will change how we build our houses and apartments. Life in a Faraday cage anyone? Lots of benefits:

• Minimize risk for being spied at or having your network snooped.

• Protect yourself from microwave radiation. It's everywhere! And 3G is making it even worse!

• Find a sanctuary from always being connected. No more texts, no incoming calls on your cell phone... Bliss.

Jokes aside, wireless and security is certainly becoming a big potential problem. People need to be careful with their new toys, or invest in some magnetic wood for their house walls. But then again, hopefully child abusers, wife beaters and mega-corp executives will remain totally technology clueless...
