That is a true statement. You can't have both securtiy and wireless (convenience).

Every wirelessly transmitted signal, whether it is your network signal or bluetooth, can be intercepted from afar. It is even possible to encrypt the accoustic signal emitted from a needle printer and determine what has been printed because every letter/word emits a specific sound pattern. Sound travels wirelessly. This link from 2009 refers to that. Unfortenately it is written in German and I didn't find anything in English, but you could translate it.

Edit: typos 2 nd Edit: Addition: Needle printers are still in use - at least in Germany - for printing prescriptions at doctor's offices, among other things. The paper used for that provides a (physical) carbon copy.

Before there were blue LED, the indicator light for full beam was a blue tinted incandescent bulb. My parents had a Volkswagen Passat from the 1980s (?) where the usually blue indicator light for full beam was a green LED, since blue ones were not invented back then.

I always claim to have something planned, too. Also, I do not answer calls or messages from work during my time off. I was given a mobile phone at work, which I leave at my workplace.
