I get it. WEP and WPA aren't meant for secure authentication, but for just encrypting the packets. BUT, if the access point is secured with a truly random 13-character passphrase, and the SSID is truly unique, I'm not worried, unless I'm a target. The wardriver will likely move on to the AP of least resistence, which will not be mine, and I won't have to worry about SWAT kicking down my door. -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o
