If you do a little war driving these days, realistically you're going to see lots of unsecured networks and lots using WPA or WPA2. Very few will still use WEP.
Did a walk in the neighbourhood with my N800 and that's what I found:

About 10% of all WLANS were open, readily usable.
80% used WEP keys. Readily crackable.
10 % used WPA.

I didn't expect that. And that was a mid size town only. I will do a similar check at a bigger town with many apartment blocks. I expect open WIFI en mass
