Yes and yes. Schneier once described Bluetooth as "an eavesdropper's=
dream."
As you did into this, Perry, you might also want to keep an eye on the=20
evolving draft standards for IEEE 802.15 (Wireless Personal Area Networks),=
=20
where the consumer electronics giants have apparently demanded a more=20
robust security architecture for the next generation of high-speed=20
low-power piconets. See: http://ieee802.org/15/index.html
My Bluetooth reference file, fyi;-)
