Comment : | WIRELESS NETWORKING: The guidelines as drafted allow wireless networking, which opens up security threats. Despite the inclusion of items requiring documentation and justifications for the use of wireless, the inevitable consequence of allowing it is that machines with wireless capability will be certified, even though they will not and cannot be secure. Wireless networking is unnecessary and inherently unsafe, and should be banned outright. We urge the EAC to reject wireless capability of any kind in our voting systems.
