This point has been made re+peat+ly by the White-Hat (and other) communities. Wireless lans are totally public. Furthermore, most people don't even use WEP! So everything is cleartext. There was a great presentation at DefCon about hacking wireless networks. There are something like 40 accessible WAPs (wireless access points) from the corner of First and Market in SF. (That's the financial district for those not in the bay area) Only 40% of all WAPs were running WEP, and of these running WEP only 15% were actually secure (running IPSEC or some other variant).
