Here's how I used to do it. Set up an old computer(keeps it out of the dump) with smoothwall. Give it three nics. One goes to your cable/dsl modem, one goes to your wired network, the third is just for your access point. Smoothwall will keep all the lan/wifi traffic separate. If you have a laptop that needs to get a file from one of your wired clients, that's why smoothwall has a vpn. Or, you can put another wpa2 access point on the lan and have the wep access point just for the toys.

Since the US seems to have so many problems at home, why don't you try this for a generation - recall all your troops, close fucking Guantanamo Bay ( you are in violation of the "agreement" that was forced upon Cuba way back), stop meddling in other countries politics and try to find ways to teach geography to your citizens that don't involve bombings and troop deployments.

Sounds good. Boot out the UN, stop giving out foreign aid, don't bother trying to control the price of oil. Ignore the North Koreans and hang the South out to dry. Let China kick the shit out of anyone they don't like. Then kick back, crack a beer, and watch the world disintegrate. I'm with ya. Being Canadian, I'll probably get to watch most of the ICBM's go by. Should be a kickass light-show, eh?

I've been saying this for years, though if the missiles start flying, I'm coming up to visit! You'd think if other countries didn't want us being the world police, they wouldn't allow us to have military bases on their land.

Well if it was an open network, then they also have all the data that was flowing over the air at the time. If the user was logging into a non-ssl'd website, they have that password now, a lot of mail services don't encrypt the user/pass over the wire, so they could potentially have that as well. As most IT professionals know, most of the population uses the same password for almost everything. So now they may have a users name and password, and location/address. Using that information it's not too difficult to figure out other information about the person.
