Of course it "concerns" me, but do I utilize that route occasionally, sure. Am I aware that that traffic could be snooped? Of course I am.

I also lock the doors on my home when I leave, though I suspect the determined crook could still get in.

Security is about degrees of risk. I'm not at all implying that I expect 100% foolproof security. However, do I trust devices that remain in my custody and control at all times vs. public kiosks that everyone has access to? Umm... yes.

And additionally, when I do utilize a public network, I actually do not access things like my financial sites. Would I access aa.com this way? Yes, probably. Do I access Fidelity on a public Wi-fi channel? Generally, I do not.

I'm not going to get into back and forth "yea, but" exercise with all those that want to debate the various ways my method can still fail; to each there own. But I'll take my approach over randomly accessing public kiosks any day of the week. Others that don't agree, bully for them; rock on.

It's actually rather amazing and confounding to me how inherently trusting people are of technology. Strangely, I generally find that those who are most trusting of technology often least understand technology (yes, broad stoke, but that is my personal experience). Having worked in a technology "sausage making factory" for many years now, I find that with each passing year, I become more and more aware that this inherent trust of technology is often massively displaced, but of course YMMV...
