I do agree completely with this...

Common sense isn't enough though, you also need to have the knowledge. And that is the most common problem...
On top of what foaly said, I dare to state that 99.9% of the people having a wireless connection don't have a clue how to secure it. Let alone know what the difference is between WEP, WPA, etc, or know what SSID broadcasting is, MAC address, etc.
Nevertheless, for those who are security-aware, and know how-to secure their Wifi, using basic security wont hurt I guess. But you don't need to have military graded encryption turned on either for everyday use though.
