I have read some on Proxy Servers, but I am still confused.

If I lived in Germany I suppose I would turn my house into Faraday Cage. 
That would satisfy the law. I doubt that anything short of that really 
would.

Over here why would anyone make even the minimal effort it takes to 
crack a WEP when they can pick from any number of wide open systems in 
any residential, and many commercial, area(s). About 90+% of all 
residential routers are wide open and a _lot_ of commercial ones also.
