Airsnitch "attack" against WiFi routers boils down to, "if you can connect to the router, you can view all traffic going through the router."

Yup. In the short term markets are about as rational as that bearded guy in a bathrobe shuffling around in his slippers under the freeway underpass shouting at imaginary greebles. Reminder: In the long run irrational stuff ends up getting washed out of markets as it gets out-competed, thus the "rational markets hypothesis". But in the long run we're all dead. #economics
