   Yes - when a dumbass editor will sign off on it so a writer gets paid,   
   the writer can be sure it will be expedited for mentioning "privacy"   
   "issue" and "Apple" in the same paper or article.

   ANY WiFi device can detect BSSIDs.   
      
   Couple that to the position   
     - from GPS or   
     - trilaterated from cell towers

   And you have a proxy position and time of detection.
