I don't wear trousers for security, I wear them to prevent freezing my
balls off. Even WITH a suit of armour, I'd still wear trousers
underneath :-)

Similarly, you don't use WEP for security, you do it so your neighbour
doesn't keep using your bandwidth.

Personally, I'd classify an unwanted orchiectomy as somewhat of a security
issue.

Not at all - he's using wide-open wireless networking after all, more or
less trivial to sniff whether it's to your router or not.

I wear trousers to stop the mosquitos from biting me in uncomfortable places.
I do not pretend that they will stop grizzlies, so I keep my eyes open for

Similarly with WEP.
