Delurking just to mention that this isn't correct. Online banking (and
other security-sensitive activities) aren't a good idea from shared
sites like a cybercafe for all the reasons others have mentioned, but
this isn't it. From my desktop here, I almost certainly have no way of
sniffing your traffic to your bank, unless I happen to be somewhere
along your path.

I'd also like to know about SSL being broken. I think you mean one of
the common ciphers is broken, which would be substantial news indeed.

Your conclusion is right but your reasoning is completely wrong AFAICT.
