We have begun rolling out wireless cards to our VP laptops.  We have also 
purchased T-Mobile Hotspot accounts for them to use in such places as 
Starbucks, American Admiral's Clubs, etc.

>From my testing, the user name and password entry screen that TMobile 
requires you to fill in before they will allow you to do any type of 
surfing.

The login page does use HTTPS, so I assume the user name and password are 
encrypted when the user submits the page.

How hard is it to decrypt SSL based traffic over a wireless link or wired 
for that matter?  Is it something trivial, or would it take some time to 
break?  I just worry about a hacker hanging out at Starbucks and snagging 
a user name and password for free internet access.

Thanks
