   Hi Paul,   
      
   Most people give up because technology is too hard for them to understand.   
   But on this newsgroup, we're savvy enough to control that technology.   
      
   Being technically savvy is a wholly different mindset from being a slave.   
      
   As an example, if I take your sentence above to simply change "reading" to   
   'BSSID' and "disk drive housing" to "home router", there is a lesson to be   
   learned from that sentence with respect to 802.11az Wi-Fi Ranging privacy.   
      
     Instead of:   
      "If the 'reading' never leaves the 'disk drive housing',   
       then there would not be any privacy implications."   
      
     Change it to:   
      "If the 'BSSID' never leaves the 'home router',   
       then there would not be any privacy implications."   
      
   That latter sentence only holds true if you "hide" the BSSID broadcast.   
   Luckily, hiding the broadcast is trivial to do on our home routers.   
      
   Notice we eliminate the privacy implications by doing two simple things:   
   a. We understand the technology first and foremost, and then   
   b. We implement an avoidance mechanism (instead of just giving up)   
      
   Put into simpler terms   
   A. We learn that rude phones upload to Google our BSSID if it's NOT hidden   
   B. So we hide our BSSID from those rude phones which do that for Google   
      
   It's really that simple.   
      
   It's the same simple thing I'm seeking the answer to for this thread.   
    Q: What can we do to not be tracked indoors by 02.11az Wi-Fi Ranging?   
    A: I suspect the answer is as easy as turning off Precise Location   
       (but I'm not sure as I don't know much about 02.11az Wi-Fi Ranging).   
   --   
   Always, when I talk about hiding the broadcast, it's not for security.   
   It's for privacy.
