That just disables DHCP. What keeps a wifi client from continuing to
use the lease it's already been given, as per the policy of some DHCP
client daemons when no DHCP offer is received?

Or, more to the point, what keeps a wifi user from simply setting a
static IP? I imagine your method would keep smaller children out, but
a teenager (or at least the teenager child of a proud Linux-using
parent!) would figure that one out in about a day or so.
