My router can see about a dozen WAPs, each of them can likely see

could be that most users really don't mind being tracked and spied
on (big brother already does that anyway, so why worry about wifi?)

seriously, it could be that community wifi users actually want the
attention, and there's safety in numbers, so if enough people join
these burgeoning wireless communities it would be too overwhelming
for any spook to track and spy on billions of users simultaneously

but then again, on the other hand, it's a jungle out there, caveat
emptor; storefront marketing schemes "you can trust us" are common
