Oh come on Tony - surely you realise how idiotic that article is. It was obvious to me that these devices MUST work in exactly the same way as DECT cordless phones - you need access to BOTH ends of the connection to authorise it. On a DECT phone, you tell the handset to look for a base and you hold down the button on the base for several seconds to cause it to open itself up to new connections for a short period. Thank you to Anon above for going to the effort of confirming that's what really happens, rather than shooting from the hip as most of the rest have done.
