Another couple of ways to help prevent unauthorised use of wireless networking would be to limit the number of DHCP addresses allocated to the number of genuine wireless / wired clients, and to choose an internal network addressing scheme and subnet mask to limit the number of nodes on your network.

These are not insurmountable - just make it that much more effort for a miscreant to get access to your wireless network.
