Most Banks Websites are using Secure Socket and HPPTS for their
Transaction packets which encrypt in the Laptop and decrypt in the
Web Server with 128 Bit Public/Private Key technology. Makes
Packet sniffing in realtime, mostly useless for the Sniffers.
I wouldn't worry about the Banking Stuff, but more about general
surfing, and email that is moved in the clear.
