A lot of this article is 'scaremongery' (IMO) aimed at the ones who the FBI are looking at. The 'average' (non-paranoid) man should have nothing to worry about.
There are plenty of unsecured wireless networks around. I often turn on the WiFi on my PDA when I'm out and about waiting for the wife to choose her dress/shoes/skirt/blouse and am amazed at the number of networks I can see and get connected to.
I use WEP for my son's Nintendo DS, my wife's laptop, and my PDA. I use a 64BIT key, because I know that no-one in my area would bother (or even know how) to hack me.
