I think we need a little more detail on the threat model here.

The person running a Wi-Fi network can monitor your traffic, regardless of whether it is open, WEP, WPA, or anything else. Right?

If so, the only difference here between network types is whether someone *other* than the person running the network can snoop on your traffic. They can if it's open, if it's WEP, if it's WPA-TKIP, if it's WPA with WPS, or if it's WPA with MS-CHAPv2. Correct?

It may make sense to design the fix for bug 1258496 at the same time as this bug.
