That's definitely the best thing you could do, other than banging your
boss's head against the same wall. Or smashing it with a (big) hammer. Or
something else, equally destructive.
Seriously: the best explanation you can give is the most straight one, i.e.
they're actually giving away full access to the internal network for free to
anyone which is skilled and close enough to use it. Tell them anybody could
guess a user's password (or sniff it) and have full access to his/her files,
tell them anybody could download porn movies from the Internet using your
bandwidth, tell them everybody could use your mailserver to send fake mail
worldwide.
Best of all, tell them you're not going to be held responsible for any
access violation happening through the unprotected wireless network, and so
if they really want to use it, they'll have to sign you a paper saying
they're fully aware of the security implications you pointed out, but still
wanting to do it. At least, you'll not be risking anything personally.
