From: michael at puffin.tamucc.edu (Michael Williamson) Subject: Electronic Voting Machines - WinVote by Adv anced Voting Solutions Using 802.11 for anything remotely critical is outright STUPID. FCC regulations are such that these part 15 devices (802.11, cordless phones, baby monitors) have no legal protection from interference from licensed services (amateur radio, TV stations, etc). If I'm running a high powered (10-100 watt) maybe signal at 2.4 ghz for amateur radio TV and happen to be living across the street from an election center, they're basically screwed. As a matter a fact, if their 802.11 is interfering with my licensed operation, it is they who must shut down. -Michael > Without even commenting on the "security" of WEP, it seems to me that a > massive DDOS attack against the voting machines could prevent vote tallies > from being counted in a timely manner. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
