[Chilli] Disassociate clients that don't authorize themselves via portal?

I"m curious if coovachilli v1.3.0, in my instance running under OpenWRT
Attitude Adjustment, offers a way to actively disassociate clients who do
not authorize themselves via the captive portal, but which still remain
associated with the hotspot.

The particular scenario I'm envisioning is someone's phone or tablet that
automatically associates to an open SSID, but where the user doesn't bother
clicking through the captive portal.  The device continues to try to
periodically pull down content (e.g. app updates), sometimes quite
furiously, causing a fair amount of useless traffic over the wifi channel,
chewing up airtime.

Or, instead of actively dissociating such an unauthorized client, perhaps
instead have coovachilli run an iptables script after some inactivity
timeout to begin throttling traffic to the client?

Thank you.
