It is. For a dialup network, I'd have to crack part of your 
network --- the ass-end, a router, etc. --- to run ethereal on 
your traffic.

On a wireless network, I just have to type "sudo ethereal". Much 
easier. Much safer, no chance of being caught.

Wireless is a non-switched ethernet; all the traffic goes to everyone.
