If MiFi is IPsec capable, I could certainly see doing that.
Several years ago USAF discussed supporting mobile user access in a similar fashion--the user would take along a wifi-capable router with IPsec support that would join a public wired or WiFi network (e.g., at a hotel) and automatically establish a VPN tunnel back to home base. This had the advantages of near-zero configuration for the end user, and the ability to manage the remote machine as if it were still connected at home.
The idea floundered on cost and availability of suitable commercial products, and the unfortunate tendency of public networks to use captive-portal authorization, NAT, and transparent network proxies--all of which made operations much more complex for the user. I could handle it, but could Airman Snuffy?
