Google announces a program to offer travelers free high speed wireless web access in airports across America and on Virgin Air flights through the holiday season. Names of the secure Google wireless networks will vary so be sure to check with airport officials in the terminal before logging on. Turn off Bluetooth and file and printer sharing so you can enjoy Google’s gift without any hacker side effects.

Now that the wifi is free, can I get some more power outlets in the terminal?

A nice gesture from Google but a magnet for the nefarious types who want to get into other people's PCs. I just hope that people read and take careful notice of your safety tips.
