When I was at Sydney airport they had free Internet access (M$IE). I had a 
little play with it. I pressed the back key a few times and found someone's 
hotmail account (or it might've been Yahoo - I don't rightly remember). I 
sent them an email telling them to be more careful about logging off in 
future. I thought it was an interesting kind of security risk.
