Please note, for proper securing of traffic all "Split Tunneling" should

Have her connect to a VPN that is available to her. If her company
doesn't
have one available, there are many easy to implement solutions for
setting
up a PPTP VPN. Then, she can connect to an insecure Wireless AP but,
all of
her traffic would flow encrypted to the VPN and out to the 'net from
that
remote location.
