Worth noting again. If They have significantly more resources than you
do, and They want to mess with you, all you can do is make it a bit
harder for Them to do that. (Not just government, either; the PLUG
Security Cabal could probably 0wn my wireless access point if they
wanted to drive to my house and spend several hours parked near it....)

manufacturers have accounted for this problem and made it a little

before I have to swap out the batteries on my wireless Rock Band guitar
controller. But wired keyboards/mice are cheaper and you never have to
change their batteries.
