Legal Problems with Municipal Wireless?

I've heard people voice concerns that cities could be liable for network traffic that passes over their municipal WiFi networks. This seems absurd – cities aren't liable for crimes related to road traffic. Could a kidnapping victim sue the city for allowing their kidnapper to escape over the city's public roads? Of course not.

Ideas like that go with people blaming video games and movies for all the violent acts in the world. You know, because there weren't any crimes before today's technological advances like the internet, television, and such.
