Is WiFi the new crack/meth? I got family members begging me for my password like its drugs.

Early on, before password protected networks were industry standard, my friend would sit in the lot of business parks looking for stray signals.

@SethGreene531 some businesses offer it to their customers or patients who are waiting and no password needed to use it. I think Chick-Fil-A does, local orthodontists and a dental surgeon and no telling who else.

@cherokeepatti This was 2004 network technology. He was siphoning private, not public networks via leaking signals. The suites were for internal operations, with no services to the general public.

But yes, public WIFI is widely available nowadays in Dental offices, coffee shops, fast food, etc.
