It doesn't add *ANY* security.
It *does* add problems.

It doesn't hide your access point, at all.  It still appears as an
access point that can be used.  Anybody, and everybody, can see that
there's one there.  It just doesn't have a name associated with it.

And the lack of a name doesn't prevent anyone from using it.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
