Your obviously not a Network Admin, the decision to install WEP or any other type of encryption is usually decided by management, who have a hard enough time remembering a password that is anything but their birthdate, wifes name, pets name, favourite colour etc.
Also the consultants & sales guys are exactly the same, "why do we have to click X first before we click Y? it takes us an extra 5 seconds of our precious time that way" this is the typical response to an Admin who suggests things should be secure.
I could go on & on with reasons that the suits don't want things changed but I won't.
But please remember to be nice to the poor admins out there, their hands are tied more than you know, plus they usually set the limits on your password length. ;0)
