But even in the article they say if you used WEP128 there wouldn't be much of an issue since it would
be at least encrypted enough to not make it 'easy' to hack.

The other thing is that these networks must be setup as Ad-hoc networks, which would allow the
individual computers to connect to each other. That can be controlled can't it by not allowing ad-hoc
networking...
