Boston airport tries to kill free Wi-Fi node
I can understand Logan officials claiming that Wi-Fi is a security risk. There are fears that explosives might be developed to work via some sort of internet signal, akin to the cell-phone signals that set off the London explosions. But, wait a minute....they are already running a $7.95/month online service that clears over a mill a year? And the only place Continental is offering the free service is in its President's Lounge? So, you can pay for online anywhere in the airport, but free online is only available in the President's Lounge? And that makes the free service a security risk?
Morons.

Logan suffered an embarassing setback when it turned out the planes from 9/11 originated from that airport, and has been trying to beef up security ever since. My guess is they're trying to hang onto the internet revenue for that purpose but yeah, that's a really dumb way to go about it.
