Smart runners will have ONE wireless connection, their commlink. And not hook it up to anything else they own unless it's absolutely necessary. And be prepared to break it and chuck it in the trash at a moment's notice.
The SR4 setting would have you believe that EVERY DAMN THING in the WORLD is wireless-enabled. It's just silly. At least for the people who make a living engaging in highly illegal activities, or the people that hunt/oppose/fight those people.
The way the SR4 encryption rules work, also, mean that except for the super-ultra-secure black computer systems run by the mega-corps in their super sensitive projects, 99% of the world's networks can be cracked in at most a matter of hours by even the most amateur script kiddy.
