Thanks...so here's what I think it is.

I've done all the file Sharing, Firewall stuff and am transmitting at whatever frequency my computer uses. If I connect to an http:// site I have no "over the air" protection and a packet sniffer can receive the signal.

If I connect to an https:// site a password is required to read the "over the air" signal and the packet sniffer is out of luck.

Oh yes, and I also assume a packet sniffer isn't one of those airport dogs looking for contraband.
