I'm no expert, but if you were to use these in the bath, I'd say very dangerous.

I am an expert and they are very dangerous to use. There are several free products that are availible on the internet that can intercept the data you send over wireless airwaves. A hacker doesn't have to be inside the (choose location) to do it either. Most serious hackers and security experts have external antennas on our computers that can detect wireless from quite a distance. If you would like more information I can send some links.
