No kidding. You should use some form of end-to-end encryption any time
you are on the net and don't want your packets looked over. SSH, HTTPS,
SMTP w. TLS have their uses.
BTW. Even WPA2-PSK seems to have some weaknesses with respect to
inter-customer eavesdropping. There is some claim that the per-host
keys aren't as securely chosen as they should be.
