As far as the rest goes - Though it's probably like talking to a brick wall - mention Accepted-MAC-Only filtering + 128bit + (etc) and compare it to Joe Sneaky hooking up a laptop with a simple patch cord. WiFi can be plenty secure if you do it right.
Yep, it is a brick-wall issue. I've been a WiFi user and installer for about three years now and I've advocated all of these things but I just get the old blank stare treatment. That, and the fact that there just isn't a big need for cutting-edge technology here. We're a newspaper and just about everything done inside the building is handled via the old fashioned methods: cat-5 and those gold inner-office mail envelopes ;)
