I might put up a "Open WiFi" sign in my window soon, perhaps with a couple chairs on my front porch.

In the mean time, i use ssh to talk to my desktop, so comms should be secure.
The only problem with that, is that people may use it to do illegal activities such as child pornography. So if you do want to run an open wifi router (I've done so myself in the past) make sure you setup a filtering box (maybe a Linux box in between) so sites like that would get filtered out (redirect them to lolcats or something.. hehehe)
