Widget Watch: Air Traffic Control

Apple's Featured Widget has changed yet again. Today it is Air Traffic Control. This widget helps you find available wireless access points when you're out and about: "Basically, it will tell you the name, vendor, signal strength, and whether or not the network is encrypted. . . . Instead of running a program to check for available wireless networks just open up your dashboard and check with Air Traffic Control."

Cool. As you'll notice from the pic, neither of my two access points are encrypted. What Air Traffic Control neglects to tell you is that they only accept certain MAC addresses, and the walls of my apartment are so thick that the signal isn't going anywhere but here. Unless of course you're with the authorities and investigating the bit torrent downloads of multiple television shows.  In that case, someone must be jacking my signal, Officer.
