End of Privacy, Herding Firesheep in Starbucks 

mnmal:

There’s been a lot of talk about Firesheep, a free Firefox extension that collects data broadcast over an unprotected Wi-Fi network without using SSL. You turn it on, and by default it collects cookies for Facebook, Twitter and 24 other sites. Then you can sidejack the account and gain access under the acquired identity.

Less than one minute later, there were five or six identities sitting in the sidebar. Three of them were from Facebook.

Go read the whole article and please stay away from public WIFI access unless you have to. And if you have to only go to places that fully support SSL (HTTPS).
