Using public WiFi safety questions

[erihp]

If you use HTTPS, your traffic is encrypted. An attacker knows what website you’re visiting. Not a big military secret.

I did not refute this.

A crude analogy

Not crude at all. Great analogy.

I would try to avoid using public wi-fi, as it is too risky. Get yourself a hot spot that you can use for a few days.

Why would a hotspot be less risky? It is transmitting on wifi frequencies and most novices use trivial passwords.
