You call the police and they arrest the person. WiFi is short ranged. Not every problem needs a technical solution.

Yes, but it doesn't need constant attention. A small router can be dropped anywhere and route the information to the attacker long after (s)he's gone.

That said, finding the AP and disabling it is better than randomly throwing deauth packets.

You can't just arrest someone for having a wifi hotspot. You'd have to prove that they're doing something illegal with it, which is much harder to do.

It could use a solution that isn't racist or anything tho
