I would like to be able to check my bank account while we are on holiday. I know the bank's site is encrypted from the start - the login page is https and Verisign-trust encrypted - but is there any risk in using public wireless networks for jobs like this? It sounds secure enough, but maybe I'm paranoid....
I would not consider using a Public terminal, without booting from my own Live CD. If you are bringing your Laptop, use as much encryption as is possible. There is risk and others have and will comment on that.
