It happens daily. We have 22 offices around the world, each in downtown towers. We use Cisco WLCs, and those controllers see constant deauth frames coming from people above us, below us, and from the four sides around us. It is a real battle. The only thing to do is use lots of APs in the office so as to keep the power levels down.
In a couple of cases our office managers personally visited the offices of people above, below, and across from us and discussed the problem. It helped.
Mike, this seems like it might be a universally bad idea...
It isn't a bad idea, as we need to protect our corporate networks. But there are unintended consequences, to be sure.
