And by it's very nature Convenient is not Secure never has been never will be.

Internet Banking is Inherently Insecure and Unsafe.

By adding in a Unsecured Public LAN you are just further into the BullSh1t of having some form of security. I just ask you would you walk down the street with a Transparent Briefcase full of 1000 $ Notes?

If you wouldn't do that why would you access Internet Banking where you have no cover and a Unsecured Device to access the Bank On let alone a Unsecured network.

Banks only offer Security over their losses and as a result just maybe a loss you may incur. But if for instance your computer was infected and it resulted in a Infection of the Bank then you have no cover and quite likely would be responsible for the Banks Loss. It doesn't matter if that infection comes from your computer or if it is infected by a Public Hot Spot it's your responsibility to secure your device and as the OS Maker will not tell you what really is required you may as well drop your draws stick your head between your legs and Kiss your *** goodbye.
