They don't require you to lock your car door when you park in your parking space. How is this any different?
It seems pretty evident to me that there is a large difference between a person's car and a service that is being rendered by an apartment/condo developer. I think a more appropriate analogy would be power service. If you think about it, not many condo developers think twice about providing publicly accessible power for anyone who happens to drive along. Naturally, electricity isn't "really" a wireless service, therefore this is easily prevented by not putting a power outlet next to every parking space. One of the major differences in my analogy is that WiFi Internet service does far more than cook a hot pocket. Computers can hold a wealth of private information, and people that are willing to spend upwards of "$300,000 or more for a fully furnished, two-bedroom, two-bath unit in a soon-to-open "condominium/hotel" on a golf course near Tuscon, Ariz." would be perfect targets for identity theft. Requiring that residents secure their wireless access points seems more like part of a good sales pitch than an infringement on anyones rights. Therefore it does not seem silly to me that a sales manager would think logically about offering such a service (weighing the sales benefit vs. the liability of abuse). On the other hand, knowing how sales people operate.. I would not be surprised to see some sort of service to configure said "insecure" wireless network for a nominal fee
