Its still fairly easy to spoof APs. 802.11w aims to prevent this but support is spotty. And a spoofed AP means now the attacker has access to things that would normally gated behind NAT.
Although with use of social engineering, you can set up a gateway page that says something like "Log in to Facebook for free wifi", bypassing the need for any exploits.
