This is the kind of thing that should really stand as a timeless lesson for all the other retailers who decide to implement wireless networks (To name a few ones local to me: Best Buy, CompUSA, Krogers) that have customer sensitive data moving across it.

It should be -- but it won't. This is going to keep happening... and it's probably happening right now, on a larger scale, and the violators won't even get caught. It's amazing how few people, even businesses (!) can't take the extra one minute to set something as simple as WEP up... Yes, WEP is breakable, but it might have been enough to keep these two dolts off the network.
