Perhaps it's non-IETF people using what looks to be very high-quality, free 
wifi?

some of us are wondering if those using ietf-legacy

 o do not realize it is completely unencrypted over the air, or

 o don't care as their threat model sees runnin' nekkid over the air as
   not a significant additional weakness, or

 o believe that they are using sufficient encryption at higher layers
   to meet their needs, or

 o other

these days, some meetings do not provide unencrypted wifi at all and
seem not to get complaints.  maybe their attendees are just geekier
and/or more security conscious.

clue bat, please.  unicast responses accepted too.
