Turn off encryption unless you want to give a false impression of security. WPA is still subject to ARP poisoning attacks from users on the network. And, uh, "The Michael algorithm was the strongest that WPA designers could come up with that would still work with most older network cards; however it is subject to a packet forgery attack. To limit this risk, WPA networks shut down for 60 seconds whenever an attempted attack is detected."

Walk around the average town for half an hour with a z/laptop running kismet and see just how many people worked out how to set up encryption on their own networks...
