one they can not use wep with barcode scanners that they have. Two the wlan should be seprate from the lan. wep and wpa suck and can be hacked. They should have done a mac address only and segmented the zones and access into the network. Lowes should be find heavily for not being secure and having credit cards on file that can be found.
