Its not actually 'completely' untrue.

I was reading yesterday, i dont know if its wep or wpa, but something about
access points that 'roll' encryption keys every 10 minutes to prevent
hacking. Sorry i didnt pay too much attention as it doesnt concern me so
much.

I can assume that Orak is referencing a NEW thinkpad, as I know that ibm is
doing some new stuff around wireless security, so im sure the 'jist' of what
they are saying is correct..
