   I just realized why you and I are so tremendously different, Chris.   
   You have no imagination.   
      
   You can't take apart a situation.   
   You can't analyze that situation.   
      
   You have no tools in your brain for figuring out what isn't explicitly said   
   (where you can't figure out even how easy it is to abuse public databases).   
      
   There's only one "if" in this scenario, for example.   
      
   Assume this is the problem set:   
    Someone wants to know all the people who moved to his town   
    in the last year from Gillette Wyoming, including renters.   
      
   How hard do you think it would be for him to get that data out of the   
   highly insecure Apple WPS database, Chris (keeping in mind you get 400   
   access point BSSIDs in every query according to security researchers).   
      
   HINT: Security researchers proved it already.   
       
      "In this work, we show that Apples WPS implementation   
       can easily be abused to create a serious privacy threat   
       on a global scale."
