That would not be perfect. One way that occured to me is to have one-off access codes generated for the patrons. They can get a free access code, log in, peruse the Internet, and throw it away. The code could last a day, a few hours, or what have you. This should not be too hard to set up if there is a Linux server sitting between the WiFi transceiver/router and the Internet. Would probably have to hack the DHCP server a bit and have a script update the routing tables once the proper code was received, etc. This approach would also discourage abuse of the service, since the patron must ask for the code in person. This sounds like a fun little weekend project.
