   Where I live, it's so accurate as to make my heart palpitate in shock.   
      
   However, I see what Alan Baker wrote based on your inclusion of his post,   
   but he's dead wrong (as always), but I can't fault Alan Baker for being   
   dead wrong about everything as his IQ is well below anything normal.   
      
   For people like you, Chris, I can point out that when I look at the   
   database, given our homes are far apart, it's trivial to identify the exact   
   neighbor with the exact BSSID.   
      
   So while you must be aware I don't advocate tracking your neighbors, one   
   answer to your question of how I could track YOU is if you were one of my   
   neighbors.   
      
   If YOU were one of my neighbors, that query would show me exactly where YOU   
   live and exactly what your BSSID is, which I could use to track you for as   
   long as you use that particular router.   
      
   For example, if you moved away, but if you re-used your router, then I   
   would know EXACTLY where you lived, if you moved to another sparse location   
   such as mine is.   
      
   I did NOT check for access points in the middle of Los Angeles though,   
   where I'd suspect Alan Baker's comment is more apropos given the density of   
   access points would be far greater than it is out here in the boonies.
