I think it's fair to say that our (NOC) concerns are more based on

example, would certainly have the skill to beat WEP.  That's why we use
VPN.
How is this appreciably different from an evil user on the wired network,
say, in the Library? Except it's a bit easier to turn that port off ;-) Are
you authenticating wired users, too?
