I wrote about "physical presence *outside* of your network", like if you are on a large WISP that uses bridged network (bad design) and your Wireless client is bridged, and you have single NIC firewall in place, entire WISP's network will be able to sniff your traffic and hack into unprotected workstations/desktops. And there are those scenarios, much more then you can think.
Which is why one poster mentioned that you need to be familiar with IPtables and Networking before trying to make your machine(s) network(s) secure?
I read some time ago something about tunneling different protocols through firewalls? which sounded quite scary.
