My point is that you don't need any tools to break into a house. Kick in a door or throw a rock through a window. That is why the analogy is bad. Someone has to be very determined at breaking in to buy all those things. Someone has to be very determined to break into a secured network.

But someone does not have to be determined to break into the average house. And they do not have to be determined to break into a network that is misconfigured.

Using WPA2 with a long password and turning off WDS makes a network safe from direct attack.
