You're a moron.  The more you open your mouth, the more you expose 
yourself as the poser you really are.

It takes no skill for an uneducated employee to plug in a WAP into a 
(otherwise secure) network segment.  Immediately, your entire corporate 
network is exploitable.  I routinely walk around with my Zaurus, amazed 
at the number of wide-open wireless segments in these corporate 
business parks.

If you don't believe/understand that, you're living in denial.
