Certainly. But your "secure" network (assuming that you are using WEP) isn't much more secure than an unsecured network.

Not necessairly. There was an incident a few years ago where a person hijacked a Home Depot wireless network to set up a child porn server. The server basically ran off his car, which he parked near the store. It took the police quite some time to track down the server since it was almost never there when they were.
