    This is a pet peeve of mine, and it's ironic you mention it in a 
thread about signal boosting.

    Many, if not most, of the people on this list appear to have 
significant chunks of property.  If your wireless signal doesn't extend 
beyond your house, nevermind off your property, is there really a huge 
risk to using light-duty security?  No.

    If you live in an apartment building, yeah, lock it down.
