With $10,000, we'd be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful things like ... love!

The wrong education can lead to paranoia. In a lot of cases it is the cause.

The FBI demonstration (conducted over a year ago, BTW) used exagerted traffic loads to break the code in 3 minutes. Traffic FAR beyond the norm of a household or even small business. The amount of "normal" data that needs to be 'sniffed' to get access to a network would take hours (maybe days on a slower-moving, average, home network).

Would you sit outside a house for hours (or days) in the hope that the network was hackable? Then... assuming it was... that they had some information worth stealing? I don't think so.
