Wouldn't happen to be a well know pharmacy per chance. I attended a class a few years ago, learned a few things and on the way home from the class, one of the people I traveled with had his laptop scanning as we were driving back through town.
Saw this pharmacy ssid being broadcast, no encryption at all, not even wep. I happened to mention this to my boss, and he kinda got worried as he trades at that pharmacy. Next week, he's in the pharmacy and mentioned it to one of the clerks. Next day, I got a call from one of their high up tech people wanting to know what I was doing hacking their wireless. When I explained that we weren't hacking, but that they might want to check it out cause it was wide open and anyone could use it without any hacking knowledge, they finally thanked me and said they would investigate. Never heard anything more and don't know to this day if they've fixed it. We didn't capture enough data to learn if the open network was data, voice, video or what but I sure was glad I don't trade there, although at the time, I'm sure others were just as lax with their security.

I was involved in a project to replace all the wireless stuff for a nationwide company. Someone had sat out in the parking lot at one of their stores and captured all the wireless traffic. They reported that to the HQ and sent them the captured info. Needless to say, with a PCI audit coming up, the company went into very high gear and had to replace or upgrade every wireless device in every store in the country. It wasn't pretty but at least no info was "stolen" in the bad sense.
