I bet you'd be surprised to know that aluminum foil hats actually amplify the signals used for GPS and Cellular Data. MIT students are hilarious:

As Arrrghhh has said, MAC address spoofing is extremely simple, and technically one could grab the MAC address of your router, then deauth all clients, and re-route all clients to their machine by spoofing the MAC/IP of the wireless router. Now they have access to all of your sessions as a man in the middle attack
I wouldn't even bother setting up MAC address filtering as its a waste of your time. The only viable solution is WPA2, and always run Firefox with the Blacksheep addon if you really have to connect to a public use Wifi.
OK, sorry for the OT. Time for bed
