I'm not suggesting we filter the network, however if someone shows up
with an unpatched Windows laptop, I'd hate for them to get owned.
The NAT-ed network keeps outsiders from being able to connect to
services internally (including weakly secured visiting laptops), whereas
a network that gives you a public IP leaves whatever's connected to it
accessible from the outside world.

I suspect this shouldn't be a problem for most people at Noisebridge,
but I'd just hate to see some visitor come along and see the
"noisebridge-public" network, hop on and get compromised.
