Is that airport as in a place with aeroplanes or airport as in the
Apple brand for wifi?

Wifi encryption is breakable with a tool like airsnort but it requires
a few thousand interesting packets so it takes a while depending on
how long it's been used.

Why not just go and sit in the tunnel between Castle Street and the
City Square and leech off Bob?  (Actually Esquires nearly does free
wifi access with more comphy seats.)
