In theory, someone who wanted access to your company network could befriend an employee or two, and drive into the office car park to be in range, and then gain access to the corporate wireless network.

For this "theory" to work, the corporation will have to have already failed to implement so many basic security measures they're probably already compromised to the gills, provided they're still in business.

I hear ya, but I'll bet an awful lot of small companies fall into the category of "failed to implement certain basic security measures" these days. With all the BYOD going on and executives who demand convenience over security, we'd all be dismayed to learn how lax security is at most places.

I can certainly understand how my IT colleagues get the reputation for being dictatorial. What else ya gonna do?
