What about if you're connecting through one of those wifi AP's someone set up (talking about intentional internet sharing here, not stealing;)) won't he be able to spy on all the data that goes through the server (same applies to ISPs ?) I mean, even if the thing is encrypted he'll be able to view the initialization process so I don't get it how a connection can really be secure for the user, at least on the provider side.
wireless is extremely vulnerable to man in the middle attacks...but if you've got encryption like SSL then your data is absolutely secure
