I have mixed feelings on this one. Sure, it would help secure things somewhat, but there are soooo many other things to worry about that this one would be a drop in the bucket comparitivly. Plus, most people that leave them unsecured do so because they don't know how to.
Also, enabeling WEP on a gaming network can bog down game performance. i'f i'm hosting a lan event, I generally leave it off. Under this law in new york, that would be illegal.
So what do you think? Worthwhile law? or government intrusion?
