About this question

Does Xfinity recognize "allowed xfinity wifi devices'' solely via their MAC addresses? If so, then what prevents someone from creating a malicious access point broadcasting SSID xfinitywifi, but secretly pointing to the legitimate xfinitywifi SSID, from sniffing (while sending over the unmodified) subscribers' MAC addresses? (i.e., to obtain mac address(es) for free internet service or for masking illegal internet activity)
