yes i do lock all my doors, and do carry a set of keys when i leave, unless i am going to my car and back, i lock my front door...
however, the authentication's process is much better with XP SP 2 you can save the settings and have it detect when the network is in range, then it will join with the settings you provided.
just remember, i can sit next door to you, sniff all your wireless traffic with out you knowing. i can also arp poison you and sniff the wired as long as the internal traffic does not exceed 54 mb/s, if it does, then you will notice the dropped packets.
WPA is hard to break as long as you have a long pass phrase, its not really worth the time to crack, WEP is easy, either way, but it is still harder then an open access point. furthermore, some people have standards and will not enter a locked network, but have no issues with entering an unlocked one.
