802.11b (or it it G?) is not all that fast, and they'd have to know you were
about to transfer files, etc. I think paranoia only goes a so far, so you're
right. It's easy to hack, but hardly worth it to find the few photographers
using one who were good enough to make it worth stealing their photos.

Besides, if I were to go with this camera, I'd have the Wifi turned off, and
use Firewire most of the time anyway.
