Greetings,
People will leave their AP unsecured, but many will not. For those people who wishes to secure their wireless communication, why not? the current WEP is just garbage, if everyone has access to tools that will decrypt the communication.

yeah nothing like security threw obscurity.
If some one wants into your network they will find a loop hole somewhere. Security and wi-fi are not even in the same boat. One is on land the others in the middle of the ocean/lake take your pick.

If you don't mind people sniffing your wireless connection, that's your problem.

I agree, which is why WPA has been around for a while to replace it, this whole thing is basically a nice sticker that they can slap on wifi AP boxes at the store so they can call them "secure" without being sued...
