Ontario School Bans Wi-Fi 287

St. Vincent Euphrasia elementary school in Meaford, Ont. is the latest Canadian school to decide to save its students from the harmful effects of Wi-Fi by banning it. Schools from universities on down have a history of banning Wi-Fi in Ontario. As usual, health officials and know-it-all scientists have called the move ridiculous. Health Canada has released a statement saying, "Wi-Fi is the second most prevalent form of wireless technology next to cell phones. It is widely used across Canada in schools, offices, coffee shops, personal dwellings, as well as countless other locations. Health Canada continues to reassure Canadians that the radiofrequency energy emitted from Wi-Fi equipment is extremely low and is not associated with any health problems."

Maybe subterfuge? Have a fake, front-end desktop environment for those pesky inspectors. But the real data is hidden away only findable after certain keystrokes and innocuous-looking codes are entered. I'm surprised no one has thought of this. Even simpler: have a second drive that holds only data hidden away in your laptop. You activate the connection with a hidden, physical switch. If they ask where the D: drive is, just say, oh that's an external drive I use at work. Or, that's the network drive at work.
