Other things to read when I get home:

The draft Special Publication 800-48, Wireless Network Security: 802.11, Bluetooth, and Handheld Devices [HUGE pdf, beware –Ed] is available for public comment. The document examines the benefits and security risks of 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), Bluetooth Ad Hoc Networks, and Handheld Devices such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDA). The document also provides practical guidelines and recommendations for mitigating the risks associated with these technologies.

NIST also lists other publications here.
