Your analogy involves passwords which, by their very nature, cannot assume implied consent.

I don't agree. In both cases the service is effectively 'unlocked' by deliberate action of the owner. If the existence of a password in one case makes it different to the lack of a password in another, then your analogy fails because while the bowl of sweets has a sign saying 'please help yourself', an unsecured wireless network does not have any such sign.
