Security -> Type to be consistent with KnownNetwork / Network interface naming 
of the properties.

I'm not sure what this is about?  Scan results don't actually expire in Station 
in the sense that you can keep calling GetOrderedNetworks() forever and get the 
same results, as long as scanning hasn't been performed.  Essentially if 
Scanning hasn't changed, GetOrderedNetworks() results shouldn't change either.

I would expect the same behavior here?
