“Perhaps the lesson here is that “secure WiFi” isn’t. “

WiFi is secure.

If yours is not secure it is your fault.

Read the effin’ manual. (RTFM).

From some random kid who borrowing a book on networking from the library, sure. But not at all from someone who has a little bit of knowledge and drive. I have a buddy that started getting into networking and stuff, and when he came to visit he'd get bored sometimes. So by the next morning, he had hashes to all 20-30 SSIDs (WiFis) around the apartment, and had the password cracked on half of them. He'd usually get the rest within a day or two. All you need is a packet sniffer and something to crack the hashes. Easy to get.
