I'm not sure if this thread goes in here or what, but I figured I'd start it off in here and a mod can move it if they see fit.

Anyways, I'm in need of a new keyboard, and I'm presented with the option of buying a bluetooth keyboard (the diNovo, if anyone cares). I live in an apartment complex at a tech school, so all of my neighbors are both close and dorky. My roommate was the victim of a man-in-the-middle attack on his wireless router last year, so I'm kinda concerned about security with a wireless keyboard essentially broadcasting my passwords to the universe. Is this an unreasonable concern, or is it possible/likely that someone could be sitting upstairs/downstairs from me with a bluetooth receiver, capturing packets and logging keystrokes?
