Why Building Your Own WiFi Hotspot Could Get You Shot

We love DIY projects, and thought our piece on becoming your own WiFi hotspot was dead on for our readership. But oh, how time changes everything in that very concept.

While the biggest factor was cost before the London bombings, today the concept of bringing a solar paneled, WiFi backpack onto a NY subway or London Tube stop is just not advised. Based on recent shoot-to-kill policies, we just wanted to warn our urban readers that this one is definitely not for you. For those in non-subway states and cities, the information is still an interesting read.

Our thanks to RTN readers for pointing out this very real and scary risk.
