Is wireless dangerous?

If you believe all sort of technology horror stories, you would think that Wi-Fi is the source of all evil on the web. Check this story for example, or this one. The common denominator is that the risks of having a Wi-Fi network in your house are completely blown out of proportion. Cities are not being taken over by hackers intent on warchalking and taking over your personal network. This article is more measured, and gives some good advice. Do not give into fear, go wireless.

Well, to be honest, I don't have a wireless network. My flat is too small, I can get my laptop anywhere with a long cable.
