Unless they find evidence of the kiddy porn or whatever on the actual computer, traffic to that network will not incriminate you. 2) Most people pay a fixed fee for bandwidth, so sharing their wifi is not a big deal.

Well you answered it: "would you do this just for laughs and giggles" Yes, and research, and sheer curiosity. Some people, myself included, would like to know how much wifi is around their city.
