I'm new to wifi... I want to add a wifi card to my laptop and use it at
hotspots when I travel. I will be looking at my bank statements and other
sensitive sites that require my soc.# and password. Will I be secure from
prying eyes?? What can I do to be secure? Many thanks from an old retired
traveler..

Hi alslo
Your security is kinda the same when you access the Internet through wired
or wireless means. It is the website that is supposed to give you security
through encryption and other means. If you are using a public wireless
Internet service, they should also be able to give some level of security.
Just because you got your wireless card, anyone cannot connect to you. You
have to connect to them first.
