You can do this with just about anything including a wifi enabled cellphone or PDA if you are so inclined and WAP isn't much better. He also using a 4 year old laptop that probably doesn't support WAP.
There is no way to really secure a wireless access point, the only saving grace is that nobody really cares enough about reading the emails you send to grandma to bother with it.
