Bryan,

I'd say that wireless passwords are a security issue, but Ubuntu has
tended to treat them as far more serious than they actually are.
Laptops commonly have confidential business or personal information, and
hopefully have a login password, a bios password, or a disk encryption
password to protect it.  If those protections are adequate for the data,
they're certainly adequate from protection against someone using your
bandwidth, for which they need to be in a particular physical location,
and so asking for a separate password just to get onto wireless is
excessive.

However, at least for me, this is now working ok in Intrepid, so it's
moot.
