Come on; war driving without a GPS is like taking a notepad with you and just writing down the SSIDs as you go. With GPSd running with Kismet it will log the lat/lun of each AP w/ signal strength... then using some scripts you can generate a google earth file that will triangulate the actual location of the APs down to a couple meters. Great for when you need to actually 'find' the AP in a business environment. Either way I agree with your description of encryption settings, but what about the 802.11x authentication functions out there. You can make wireless near impenetrable using certificate based 802.1x authentication tied to AD (yah, yah, insert all the anti-MS comments, it doesn't help if someone is just sniffing traffic, but it can prevent an unauthorized actor from connecting).
