Relying on MAC address filtering for security is a terrible idea because it is so easy to circumvent. All a potential attacker needs to do is to wait until at least one legitimate wireless device is connected, and then steal that device's MAC address. This can be done easily with open source tools and is pretty much the same security-wise as hiding the SSID broadcast. It just slows an attacker down for a minute or two.
