Do not use MAC address filtering as access control!

Yeah. Reminds me of the 'purpose' of security systems for houses.

Doesn't make your house impenetrable, but makes it harder to break into (or more work) than your neighbour. Hence, casual burglars will steal your neighbours' stuff rather than yours.

The thing to note is that if you have something unique that people want, then you will need 'proper' security measures. But every hollywood movie shows that dedicated enough [physical | informational] burglars will still get in, anyway.
