This can be generally overcome by using ipsec for the wireless link (on top
of the wep you will be running already). If that link is secured by ipsec
(freeswan or whatever) your data is more private going over the airwaves than
it is going over the cable modem.  

Also- most company's who worry about that sort of thing have VPN applications
that do the security for them.  As a network administrator, you have to
assume that each individual's home computer is completely insecure.
