Tunable surfaces prevent Wi-Fi leaks
Jan Libbenga, The Register 2004-12-14

Last year a man in Canada was arrested for downloading child pornography onto his laptop, but he used someone else's wireless access point to access the illegal material. That same year federal officials accused a man from Michigan of conspiring to steal credit card numbers from the Lowe's chain of home improvement stores by taking advantage of an unsecured Wi-Fi network at a store in Detroit.

This is good, but doesn't replace the need to secure the access points to prevent unauthorized use.

I think that most companies will not do this because it will be too costly and troublesome. Nice Idea, though.
