So when I pointed out to this guy that Wifi has its uses in corp. America, it also has its risks.
Like a woman have unprotected sex without practicing a form of birth control.... sooner or later they get knocked up, or they contract a disease.
Its how you minimize the risks that counts. This guy was not taking steps it would seem to do so.
And I bet if I wanted to I could do a scan of his building, find the AP, and log into it. I won't because I know better and 2) sooner or later someone will jack with his network.

What needs to be developed is Switchgear that is able to read a company calendar like Exchange or Lotus. When someone schedules a conference room, they could check a box that Wifi is needed and when it comes time for the conference, the switchgear automatically turns on the port, and when it's over, it turns it off.
