   It turns out that the MAC is certainly stored, as Andy Burns,   
   later in this thread, has run the public API to access it.   
      
   1. You need two nearby SSIDs for Google to spit out the location   
   2. It should be easy to do that if you do a little spying   
   3. You need a Google API which will track your lookups
