More info on WiFi tracking

["Richard M. Smith" <rms () computerbytesman com>]

To make WiFi tracking easier, all DHCP servers should create log files which
are forwarded to datacollector.BeSafeFromTerrorism.gov once an hour.

Microsoft is doing some very interesting work in this area:

Intel too:

WiFi tracking becomes even more interesting when we all start carrying
around cellphones that also talk WiFi:

Also this company makes WiFi keyfobs designed solely for tracking "assests":

I can't wait until it becomes mandatory for everyone who doesn't want to be
suspected of "terrorism", of any kind. They'll probably first sell it to us
as a means of protecting our children...
