I don't consider myself too paranoid, it's just that everyone is out to get me! :).

Well sure.  But someone who is sufficiently determined will almost 
always find a way, even if its brute force.

which requires authentication (on top of whatever other wifi 
restrictions you have in place) to connect to an AP.
