Both WEP and WPA are insecure at present, you are really using them at your own risk.

Reading that page, WPA actually still sounds pretty secure if you have a good (long, non-dictionary) password.

I use it at home, but it is not secure and can be cracked.
It is not approved for secure environments - such as in the government for this reason (UK HO Directive).
