So you must be able to track all mac address, all the time, say wich mac address belong to wich people.
it's a very big concern and for exaample, my company (big provider) has set hotspot and has invested millions to be able to track activity.
even if you don't share your network, you put WEP encryption and Mac address lock ... if someone go inside (very easy) and do illegal stuff, you are responsible because you didn't protect your network (WEP and mac are too weak protection) just use WPA.
