Dan,
I don't know if we've progressed beyond hemlock...but we should have
progressed to MAC filtering, rotating WEP keys, VLANing/IPSECing/VPNing
traffic...and maybe even to things like using certificates issued to
wireless devices AND servers to validate them as well. Nothing is
foolproof, but there are a lot more layers out there than simple IP
filtering. Of course, as always, it is the repsonsibility of those who
are vulnerable to make themselves less so...but it's not quite as bleak a
landscape as you paint it to be.

I'm not going to explain the details of networking, I
assume if people subscribe they have a base knowledge.
Exploit:
Wireless networking is simple to sp00f IPs and it
would be trivial to setup a DNS server on a laptop
then sp00f the IP to match that of the ISPs DNS server
and cause a wee bit of misdirection for the network.
Update Re my wireless "crusade" : I have garnered the
attention of the Illinois States Atty Generals office.
We shall see if people with knowledge are locked up
instead of given hemlock these days, or does anyone
think we have progressed beyond that?
