This is an excellent example of members of Congress being the “non participants” in technology if this is the case. Everybody knows, Best Buy tells you as well as 
other retailers to secure your wireless network. These are the folks making laws that serve on Committees like Homeland Security!
I don’t need to really say a whole lot more as this is very public knowledge on how to put a password on your wireless network and how do these folks understand making new laws that entail technology? Many members have announced retirement in part I believe due to this fact.

Advocacy group Consumer Watchdog released a report this week claiming that "Google's WiSpy snooping could have sucked up and recorded communications from members of Congress, some of whom are involved in national security issues". The BBC quickly picked up on the story, reporting that Google's Street View "snoops" on Congress members, but overlooks one important piece of the puzzle: If these people are involved in issues of national security, why haven't they put a password on their wireless network?
Apparently, they found that Representative Jane Harman of California - chair of the Intelligence Subcommittee of the Homeland Security Committee - was among a group of nearly 20 high level government officials whose home networks "could have been breached by Google."
