Yea, but if you're specifically looking to bust into a specific network (ie. sabotage on a competing business) WEP isn't going to cut it. WPA is a whole lot more secure, but I'm sure given enough time...folks can get in through that.
I'm not sure how penetrable WPA is, but I agree with what you said about WEP, I believe you have to capture around 5 million packets (so sit around for a while)...

Even just AirSnort can find the key for you if you are determined...

In all my travels, I've seen only 27 AP's with encryption, WEP at that, I've seen 0 with WPA... Sad...
