That's what I've been reading and hearing lately, for at least the last two years it's been easy for the somewhat computer technically hacker literate. I don't know how, But I do know you can't hack a signal if you can't receive it, thus, the special paint. I'm planning on adding their exterior coating next year. It's got the anti-radiation (radio signal) properties and also has a small percentage of UV blockers which can help it last 20 years! I like the idea of only painting every 20 years (likely 10 in FL due to the harsh sunlight).
I'd love to put some jammers in the yard, but the FCC frowns on offensive use of electronics.

Jammers are legal, if you are using them for defense. So make sure the power's down low and not bothering the neighbors. Of course, I've been up for around 20 hours after 3 hours of sleep, so I might be wrong.

You're right, the signal has to be broadcasted to you to see it. Whether it's broadcasting the SSID or not, it still has to reach out to you. That's by far the easiest and best way to protect your network.
