Hm..sorry but I have to disagree to that.
Here is the reason why: I have several WEP protected AP's in my neighbourhood, all in rage without the need for a directional antennae or an omni. What stops me (expect from my ethic) from capturing all their traffic for several days (or until I have enough packets) and then use aircrack to crack their keys within a minute? They are all "average home users" but they generate traffic day by day, someday more, someday less. Next thing is that I can still use Packet injection on these networks to get enough traffic without them knowing it. I would not recommend anyone using WEP anymore, even not for home use. Also think about KoreK's chopchop...decrypts a WEP encrypted packet in about a minute...
Just my 2 ct...
