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.
