   Kiddo, you have changed your story.   From a privacy issue to a "I can get   
   the whole database".   
      
   You have not given me/us any explanation to why knowing *a random BSSID* and   
   its location would be a privacy issue, and now not why you think that being   
   able to get all the Apple databases contents would be one.

   And as I've told you a number of times before, I'm not going on a wild goose   
   hunt for something you *could* be meaning.  You have it as a fact in your   
   head, *you* explain it.   I'm not going to play a ten guesses game with you.

   No, you're not.   
      
   If you would be than you would take the time to make sure that your intended   
   audience gets the facts instead of some guesswork as well as getting   
   something thats easy to read and follow and thus understand.   
      
   I've told you that many times, but you have disregarded that for years now.   
   Thats not something an /actual/ helpfull person would do.   
      
   Though I must say I was pleasantly surprised that your last "tutorial" was   
   about a single subject and not multiple together, poored out after having   
   gone to a food-blender.  Yes, I remember those. :-(
