?  That might prohibit people from using the WAP but it does nothing to
stop them from grabbing your data out of the air.

Plus a MAC address can be trivially faked,  see man ifconfig.

       hw class address
              Set the hardware address of this interface, if the device
driver
              supports  this  operation.   The keyword must be followed
by the
              name of the hardware class and the printable ASCII
equivalent of
              the  hardware  address.   Hardware  classes  currently
supported
              include ether (Ethernet), ax25 (AMPR AX.25), ARCnet  and
netrom
              (AMPR NET/ROM).
