Smart meters alleged to pose security (privacy) risk:

privacy.html

How horrendous!  If someone can crack the encyption, figure out the band being 
used, and figure out how to trigger the meter dump, they can find out whether 
you've been using a lot of electricity!

(Surely it would be easier to read the dials on the existing meters ...)
