RE: Walmart using WEP

In my local super walmart, the wifi router is perched above the doors in the
garden center. Maybe it's a signal boosting unit but there's a wired router
next to it, looks like a linksys 24 port. I haven't wardriven walmart yet to
see what's up but the police station 3 blocks away has an unsecured wifi
running. (these cops couldn't run a speedtrap nor less a wardriver trap)

The coupon kiosks in Jewel (US grocery chain) are running FC 4. I
actually saw one of them crash and recover and run through a Fedora
boot screen. I'm not sure if they are self contained or simply thin
clients. They scan in the bar code on your savings card and generate
a customized coupon list. I am unaware of what the back-end is
running (i.e. Oracle, MySQL, etc...)
