   Nothing you can say will ever change the FACT (you love misusing that   
   word) that anyone can pull up wigle.net, search for any WiFi router, and   
   see the BSSID of it and every router around it on a neat little map.   
   According to you this is a YUGE "vulnerability" - it's not. It's just   
   public information made accessible by an API and service, which is   
   exactly what Apple's service is. And the fact that you don't know this   
   says all we need to know about you. Cry harder, little Arlen. Your troll   
   is going nowhere.
