Waaaaaaiiiiitttt, are we talking about the same Bruce Schneier as in Cryptography !?
I think the open network idea as a 'politeness' thing and such is admirable but, "it's his network" to open ^_^
I've generally looked at WEP as the same protection as an Ethernet cable, only they don't need to physically get into the stream of things to sniff packets off the network.
As good as standing around in Siberia with your shorts down lol.
I use the strongest LCD available for my miniature WLAN, because my internet connection sucks to bad to share and I don't want it easy for anyone to ease drop on credentials. Let them capture enough packets to crack my security, then spend enough time to overcome the encryption on any data I don't want public knowledge when it goes across the 'net. Then figure out how to get into the systems, before I eventually change things around.
