Apparently, WiFi is a potential threat to national security. The Defense Department has announced that WiFi interferes with military radars used to monitor aircraft, guide missiles, or track storms.
Military officials are asking the American industry, and companies in other countries, to create and install even more sensitive versions of dynamic frequency selection — something that the companies say may cause the technology to operate incorrectly. American executives say that the military's demands may also curtail the capacity of wireless Internet services and could even force a complicated redesign of millions of computer communications systems already in place or nearly ready for shipment.

The alternative is that, every time a warship sails into port, your car alarm goes off, your autokey stops working, and your toaster explodes :-) |
