WPA is the latest generation of "wireless encryption", the previous
generations having been cracked. Wireless encryption seems to be good
for two things: making sure no-one can trivially eavesdrop on
communications and giving one more option on how to limit access to a
wireless network. The former is (in my opinion) not useful enough, the
latter can be done via other means.
