"Consumers have a right to expect that data transmitted over personal and business wireless networks remains confidential."

Bull. If the networks were not secured then there should be NO expectation of privacy. Just because it was Google doesn't mean that Jonny Hacker next door didn't get the same confidential data. Yes, Google should answer for the bad code, but it should not be on the hook for everyone else's lack of common sense.

I like to oogle. Wireless schmireless I like to digress.

Encryption highly overrated, me no smart enough to turn on THAT feature. Me get good lawyer, SUE to protect my right to stupidy.

Americans don't care to be spied on. It was one of the charges we laid against the inherited, inbred, insane, chinless wonders of England, of keeping spies and informers among us. So we kicked those tyrants and their spies out.

But this is more squishy. It may be that some of this is driven by at least response to public anger at being spied on. But it's more likely just a narrow grab for headlines and money. However, the more go_ogle is revealed to be a SPY AGENCY with ties to NSA. the more anger will grow.

Google is becoming what MS would have dream of back in its Big Bad Days (tm) ... slap em down now!

Also say what you will but MS never did something as illegal and intrusive as this.

What is all the fuss about?
