   As you have thrown claims around that you refuse to substanciate in any way   
   since forever I'm not going to believe the above either.

   And neither is, as always, yours.   Your point ?

   Yep.  Which is rather useless as long as you have no clue who you are   
   targetting/tracking.

   Yes. And than you have identified a random household.  Thats as meaningless   
   as the above.   
      
   Kiddo, come back when you figure out how you can identify a *specific*   
   person / household from whats in that database.  *Than* you have something   
   to complain about.

   :-) And what does that "network assistance" look like ?   Riddle me dat   
   batman.   
      
   Kiddo, have you *ever* stopped to think about why Apple would have spend   
   money to create that database you have been free to access and now   
   complaining about ?   What's is purpose ?   Can you answer me that ?   
      
   No, I don't think so.   
      
   And something else to think about : You have tracked the movement of a BSSID   
   in real-time.  Where do those updated coordinates come from ?  Who / what is   
   providing them ?
