[LUNI] Making a private network somewhat public.

[Jason Rexilius]

Exactly.. Sorry, it was more for illustration purposes than anything else.

But off the top of my head, what could theoretically be part of that 10% 
could be a remote exploit in the IP stack of the linksys kernel that 
only a few people in the world know about or some obscure bug in the 
Wifi driver that someone nearby could crack.  This (made up) last 10% is 
the battleground of hardcore security people and a full-time job to 
really get right.  Diminishing returns..

If you want to get to the point where its as close to secure as being 
physically unplugged (which itself is still exploitable remotely, ala 
Van Eck and what not) then you are getting into the realm of full-time 
security expert.
