But if they catch you looking at something they deem you shouldn't...

...I would imagine the penalty would be too horrendous to contemplate.

Interesting tidbit that Wi-Fi Networking News' Glenn Fleishman found about the haj-the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia's holy sites-unwiring for free.

I've never been over there-and from what I've heard about the place, I'm not particularly eager to book a trip anytime soon-but it just struck me as ironic that a nation seen by many as reactionary, to say the least, would embrace a technology often held up as one of this era's potent tools against repression.
