The problem is that there's really no such thing as a "copycat" if the
client doesn't
have the means of authenticating the destination. If that's really the
requirement, people
should start bitching to ieee to get destination auth on ap's instead of
blatantly asserting
that somebody owns a particular ssid because, well, because.
