I sat down for supper one night in CiCi's pizza (a chain in the US) and wondered if they had wifi. They sure did, and protected by a 5-charcter password only. On a lark, I entered "cicis"-- got me right in. But, yeah, I drive around sometimes with my N800 beside me periodically looking for access points, and at any given time I can easily find a half-dozen in range, unlocked.
