My job is managing the architecture & infrastructure of a global wireless network for a very large IT company you have all heard of.
Security is one of my main concerns. You'd be amazed at how many people simply setup their APs with default settings. It's kinda like people buying doors for their house, but not locking them; just assuming that once the doors are there then their home is secure.
You must remember that any unauthorized access to a company's network is illegal. Benign or not, you are breaking the law if you use their bandwidth, browse their folders, drop "friendly" TXT files onto their computers.
There is also a lot of misinformation out there about WLAN security. Following some very simple steps allows you to mitigate 99% (if not more) of all hacking attempts. Let me know if anyone wants some advice in this area.
