[LUAU] From the Star Bulletin

[Laurence Laforga]

I did a free open wireless access in Waipahu for about a year and was
planning on meeting with the community board about expanding coverage until
I moved to Ewa Beach.

I was utilizing Mikrotik software to manage bandwidth and authentication
with Smartbridge wireless equipment.  I wouldn't mind opening a part of my
wireless network to expand coverage.

Why am I responsible for what you see on a laptop screen?

Back when I was @ Wayport, some people feared "exposing children" to  
Internet porn via wireless in airports.

It was never an issue.   Never.

Mind you, there was a metric *ton* of p0rn (of all types, some of it  
illegal) headed into the hotel room 'ports' we provided, as well
as other questionable content that the FBI would regularly issue  
warrants about.

Why am I responsible for what you download?   Are *you* not the actor?
