I'ts really up to them to encrypt their Access Point to block unauthorised access, if they're not, how can they complain? They're are hundreds of Wi-Fi AP's all over NYC set up purely for that purpose: PUBLIC USE. However continuously checking sites like, let's say......danish pedophile pages could cause a problem for him. The key encryption is a bitch to employ and easily breakable nowadays. Although he could possibly block your Mac address. Also, there are new cards with extended ranges beyond 300 feet (even with walls and no exernal antenna) I really recommend anyone with a laptop to get one.
