If you have a wireless network, and its not encrypted, you're just plain loopy. Might as well leave your front door open and post a large neon sign on your roof for all burglars: "This way to an easy entrance"...

As I sit here now I see three other wireless networks. Of the three only one has security enabled.

I'm in a rural area on an 2.5 mile unencrypted WISP, so WAP, WEP, etc. are essentially useless for my type of connection. But I do use an encrypted VPNs and SSL tunnelling for some connections - and I'm on a Mac, so I'm not too worried about getting hacked.
The reality is that the traffic coming over the wire is more dangerous than the war drivers.
