It always raises an eyebrow when someone claims a particular
technology is "hacker-proof"...

The first segment of a new wireless network for banking data is being built
in Louisiana, and the Louisiana state police is on board for its own
benefit.

The company, ERF Wireless out of League City, Texas, says sending data
through the air will be faster than land lines, even safer from hackers,
and not prone to storm damage like high-wires or buried lines.

"It's bandwidth, lots of bandwidth, and it's more secure than a regular
phone line," said John Burns, CEO of ERF Enterprise Network Services. "It's
actually quite a bit faster. Much more control, faster speed, faster
response, and it's a private communications network the bank creates for
itself, whereas with phone lines you're sharing with everyone."
