Thanks for any info...there is an "opt out" option?

Even if there's not an inherent security risk, which I highly doubt, there's certainly a massive risk of social engineering. I saw an article about a gentleman that uses a mifi pineapple to immitate a comcast hotspot. He makes a page that looks exactly like their splash screen, only he logs their credentials for use later. Pretty interesting read.
