True, NS won't find 802.11a. However, other commercial (read: expensive) products, such as Yellowjacket or AirMagnet will.

Wouldn't Kismet be able to detect those, though?

Note, spoofing a MAC address is very easy, especially on access points and routers that usually have a web based interface to do so. With this in mind, an airsnare or similar based approach will fall flat on it's face.
