It all takes ``some'' effort.  That's the point, sort of like car
alarms that are easily bypassed...  The burgler will usually choose to hit
the car parked beside yours without an alarm.

I never argued wireless was secure, but using a blend of available options
to lock things down as much as possible never hurt.  Although I
freely admit 802.11 has a long way to go.  Besides, rad_auth is overkill
for a home proxy.  ;)
