small network of bluetooth scanners <http://www.bluetoothtracking.org/> . He
has all the information logged to a central database and you can search it
over the web. On his website it says "Some of these matches were only
minutes apart. Therefore I could even calculate the approximate speed of
someone moving from one location to another.". There are also some
interesting statistics on his site showing traffic volume in his hometown
(based on bluetooth signals) and he even lists popularity of certain Nokia
phones. It's interesting to see how much information an individual can
gather using old equipment."
