I have the same opinion as Bruce Schneier: I keep my wireless network open to let others passersby connect to the internet. I'm aware of the risks but I don't give so much weight to those. Actually, I'm just looking for a good solution to keep the network open AND limit the bandwidth used by others: I do want others connect to the internet for some email checking but I do not like people whose steal bandwidth for p2p. I think of that as being nice and kind: if you see I invite you for lunch, you shouldn't order T-Bone and expensive red wine unless I want that, right?

Any way, Bruce is now telling that there is more reason not to follow this advice: some terrorists in India used someone else's wireless network (which was open). News apart, I suggest you to take a look of Bruce's post and the links contained there. He links also the old post where he explained why you should open your wireless network and in the comments I found some interesting point of views.
