assume that anybody and everybody can see all of your data you send
from your handheld device to the base station in the office

if you do NOT want any high school or competitor to see your inventory
and pricing, you should send all data using ssh or ssl enabled
devices ( DES, 3des, blowfish, etc ) 
        - wep, wepa, etc.al is all cracked and hackable
