I mostly do at airports, not very frequently. Last time was last week in Venice.
Next year December 15th roaming data fees in the European Union will be history, so at least for quick e-mail checking or WhatsApp you don't need to search for a public wifi or pay additional high costs.

Swamper delivers!
Starbucks, Airports, on JetBlue's In Flight Wi-Fi. Rinse and repeat.
I know this is very likely and highly possible; a few Google searches will do.
I used to live in South Florida, you know those knuckleheads can barely distinguish USB from FireWire. But here in San Fran-San Jose, and even in Austin; both places that I consider myself a Resident of...you gotta be on the look out.

When I consider the choices I've made in my life...I say to myself, I should've become a Barista at Starbucks, attended Community College in Austin ( instead of UT, which I don't regret, but whatever), and I would have done consulting.
I could have gone to my little secret starbucks room and run scripts on the terminal that would mine field the entire goddamn cafeteria.
It's a brave new world and there's no rest for the wicked.

Any computer connected to the Internet or anything stored online is vulnerable.
Hell, your computer not connected to the Internet is vulnerable.
Very true. I will burn all my computers as soon as I finish this post.

Not sure this is true. Smaller pool, and the FBI/NSA is all over that shit these days. They dedicate more pointed resources to scouring TOR than they do teh web, because that's where they know the real shit is going down.
And it's not anywhere as anonymous as people think it is. Don't you remember Nou power-pwning Alfi on this very subject?
