All wireless is 100% insecure. There is now way to secure it. No, not even WEP. WEP can be broken in minutes with airsnort. With wireless, you just have to accept that fact. It's like being on a huge hub with the world, shouting stuff out. You can rest assured that stuff that's encrypted at the application level (i.e., https, pops, ssh) is still secure over wireless.
