Can you detect a wifi pineapple or rogue AP with MAC address?

This posting has some good advice for tracking rogue access points:

Tracking down a rogue access point

The issue I have is that many will not work for a huge deployment. I'd like to build a device to look for them that I can keep on me and walk the property, when it detects something it will fire an alert. I can handle the scripting for this, but I am uncertain if my hunch is correct: Does the pineapple spoof AP MAC (BSSID) as well as SSID? If not a default setting, I think I can create a list of all our MAC addresses and compare them to what I see in the facility per our SSIDs.
