Ok, here is an interesting scenario... Multiple AP's connected on a switched network. Now, you have disable inter-client communications. But all this does is stop people on the same AP from talking to other computers on that same AP. Well, how about computers on the other AP. They are not blocked by disabling interclient communications, so the scenarios y'all listed are possible even still. Guess someone better set-up some protocol blocking (or port blocking, or use VLAN/Trunking) blocking on the network, huh?
