all sensitive tasks should be done over ssl if possible. whether
wireless or not. I always use my own machine. I never trust putting
sensitive info into some other machine. And I check to make sure there
is an ssl connection as I use such info.
But I dont worry about using a wireless connection because I treat every
machine on my (very small) network as an island. Each runs a firewall
and all sit behind the linksys router. Effectively I treat my network
as an extension of the Internet when it comes to security. I send
nothing in the clear--ever. I also dont have windows machines to worry
about so that helps.
That's just how I do it. There are other ways.
