About WLAN and monitoring..

IMO, basing WLAN security - say, at your home - on MAC addresses is
suicide (the only thing it accomplishes is a massive administrative
headache). It's better to rely on something at least reasonably solid;
if you can't go with a VPN or WPA2-Enterprise, at least go for WPA-PSK
or WPA2-PSK with a large, pseudorandom passphrase.

In this case, yeah, your MAC address could be logged when you're away -
but this should only be a concern of privacy, not security.

Also, when you're on the road, be sure that one way or the other,
everything is sent out of the WLAN through a secure tunnel; otherwise,
there's a lot more than MAC addresses that can give you away...
