This will only help people who are already security-conscious to become even more secure...

Does it really matter? I mean, people still are going to leave their access points open simply because they are configured like that by default. I doubt it'll help secure the majority of unsecured APs.
This will only help people who are already security-conscious to become even more secure...
While improved security measures won't help the uneducated masses who don't care about security, it does help those of us who are running secure AP's.
My point exactly...

A man walked along the beach picking up starfish and throwing them back in the ocean. An onlooker asked him, "Why do you throw these starfish back in the water? There must be thousands of starfish along the beach that will dry out and die on the beach. Does your small contribution really make a difference?"
As the man threw another starfish in the water, he said, "It made a difference to that starfish."
