Not enough open wlan's

A few years or month ago you could go to the city, taking your notebook with you, and it was guaranteed that you find an open wlan-access not far away. So you could sit in a restaurant in a foreign city and surfing the internet for free. Many geeks did this. No one wanted to be evil. Just checking email or something else. But then something happened. The computer press started to warn all the noobs out there. They showed every stupid guy how to protect his wlan. The manufacturers of wlan-router found possibilities which made it very easy for every noob to protect his network with WPA. As the result it became very hard for a geek to find an open wlan-access. In a foreign city you have to search for a long time until you find a wlan which is not protected by WEP or WPA. Why did they do that? Maybe the press works together with Telecom, FON and other provider to promote their non-free wlan-access.
In some ways it's better to keep the folk stupid. I want my free and non-protected wlan-access in every city. I promise that I only use your wlan for surfing the internet and reading email, nothing else. And I believe that many other geeks would do the same.
