Should I keep my AdMob publisher ID?

I am publishing an application on the Android Market that has an ad. I also maintain the application source in the github public repository. In the application, I have a line:

ads:adUnitId="MY_AD_UNIT_ID" 

where MY_AD_UNIT_ID is my actual publisher ID. Is there anything evil someone can do with my publisher ID? Is there any reason why I want to keep this secret?

In general, there is probably nothing malicious that someone can do with your publisher ID, but in order to create an Admob account and get a publisher ID, the user must accept the Admob Terms of Use . By providing public access to the publisher, in theory, someone could circumvent the acceptance of the Admob Terms of Service, and this could have legal consequences.
