Why? Unless you live in a place that is unacessable by normal people, 
eventually someone will drive by, see an unencrypted network and use it.

Most of those people are not the kind that you want on your network.

Some are ok. One friend of mine found a network that was unencrypted,
but called "ken's network". He used it for his email while his high speed
line was down. I don't think Ken ever knew.

Another friend of mine has a condo near the beach. When he goes there,
he gets free internet access from a network named "linksys". 

Neither of these guys are ones that are going to hack into your computers,
monitor your traffic, SPAM the world, or download kidde porn.

But there are lot of people out there who will.

Geoff.
