Not entirely.

* SWAT and cops in general are not noted for computer literacy. They
  may (for whatever reason) raid you even though you've locked down
  your AP. They may not even know you've locked down your AP.

  The purpose of a SWAT raid is to get the evidence before the perp
  (you, in this case) destroys the evidence. They may not even care
  that you have your AP locked down. Their job is to gather evidence,
  and let the courts sort out later the relevance and interpretation
  of that evidence.

* The SWAT may raid your home for some entirely unrelated reason, such
  as having the wrong address.
