A drive-by would show the open nature of our WiFi, but wouldn't immediately tell you that we've secured our business 
fairly well.

but what if someone uses your unsecured network to download copyrighted material (just mp3s are enough :->) or to send porn?

An unsecured WiFi may have serious legal consequences.

And to come back on the original topic: These legal consequences may be good arguments to convince customers that they need to get their network secured.
