I live in the city; every neighbor has a wireless router. :-) No, really
- my next door neighbor asked me about mine, because she saw my SSID
broadcasting through our common wall, and recognized it as mine. She was
trying to use the city wireless network, and my router was showing a
stronger signal (understandably), and she wondered if she could connect
to mine. I explained how that wouldn't really be happening. ;-)

While I could turn off broadcasting, it's easier (and safer) to turn on WPA.
