What we ultimately wound up doing is to enable the guest
self-registration system, with either SMS or external e-mail
confirmation required.  Default guest access is 24 hours,
and can be manually extended if the guest has their campus
sponsor call our help desk.

The big gotcha is "permanent" guests from the neighborhood,
who keep re-registering every time their access expires.
Our fix for that was a quick code tweak to PF that trips
a new violation called "Expired Guest" when the guest
access expires, putting them into a 30-day quarantine.  The
result is that they can only have guest access one day per
month, and have 29 days of "timeout" to go and find another
network in town to poach Internet access from.

I didn't submit the changes I made back to the PF project,
but will gladly share the changes against PF 3.6.1 if anyone
is interested in using this logic...
