Contrast this "guard your wi-fi" warning with Schneier's 2008 "open your wi-fi" invitation.

Schneier basically lists a bunch of reasons why you should NOT allow open access to your wi-fi, but says that he leaves his open anyway, to be neighborly.
When I read that, I remember feeling impressed at his civic-mindedness, while simultaneously deciding "nope." I also do not want to run afoul of Comcast, as I am much farther than 5,000 DSL feet from QWest's nearest central office.
At this moment, the comments on his post continue from the date of publication, Jan 15 2008, to Oct 17 2009.
