Properly done, it is as secure as a wired connection.
 
Like bcastner says properly done its fine.

If you use WEP and mac address filtering you should be fine id have thought.

It all depends how determined someone is to get in. If possible you could use static IP's and stop DHCP broadcast. Then only allow specific IP's access...
 
ok sound promising thanks for the advice peops :)
