First thing you will most probably learn is that everyone is attacked. The only one who aren't are the one who don't know. | |

Maybe that person just wanted the antenna/whatever closer to the window to access a network outside the café (maybe it's a cellular router that receives cellular and provides a Wi-Fi network, in which case having it closer to the outside is advantageous). | |
