There's also the inverse - if your WiFi isn't uncrackable (given?) and
the same happens, what is your likely defense?  Running open might offer
some protection against that scenario.  Granted, not technical problems.

Your concern is real though, a guy in Germany running a Tor exit node
was raided/beaten and held in jail for that kind of traffic.
