Not quite. I'm a tad more paranoid than most... I firewall all the machines, 
and only allow access from a certain set of MACs. Now, that doesn't stop 
people who just set their MAC to one of mine, but its at least another step.

Also, my wifi is locked down by mac and wpa2-psk, so its pretty secure there 
as well.
