Having seen some of these swat okes on tv they don't seem to be the sharpest of tools.

They'll do surveilance on a house looking for a drug dealer or something, see that he lives there and leave to go plan their 'attack' with blue prints and all sorts of stuff. Next they they go back and virtually break the house down only to find like one joint and no suspect. Does it not occur to them to keep doing surveilance so that they know the suspect is actually present when they go back there? As is the american way they come out with this one joint in a evidence bag claiming it's been a great day for justice and the operation has been a great success

WPA and WPA2 are even easier to crack. If you don't use WiFi then turn it off.

Why'd they use a grenade to blow open the door? What happened to the battering ram things?

EDIT:

WPA and WPA2 are even easier to crack. If you don't use WiFi then turn it off.

Only if you use a weak password. A stronger & random WPA/WPA2 password is next to impossible to crack...
