   Andy,   
      
   I respect your knowledge, so I'm aware you understand what a BSSID is.   
   You also understand that most people own the home they live in.   
   And, you understand that if they move, they take their router with them.   
      
   Are you disputing any of that?   
      
   I know the owner of every home on Josey Circle in Shreveport, LA, right?   
   That's trivial. Anyone can prove how trivial that is, right?   
    Jeffrey Devin ......................... 4306 Josey Circle   
    Ronda and Alfred Beel ................ 4310 Josey Circle   
    James and Dollie Henson Smythe ....... 4314 Josey Circle   
    Rosemary Ellerbee Jones .............. 4317 Josey Circle   
    Benjamin and Eric Choyica ............ 4318 Josey Circle   
    Lonzie D. Groniger .................... 4321 Josey Circle   
    Terrince Steedman ..................... 4326 Josey Circle   
    Lutrisher Walton Hill ................ 4329 Josey Circle   
    Shane Jameson Sr. ..................... 4330 Josey Circle   
    Flora Ann Jackson Gellion ............ 4338 Josey Circle   
    Mary E. Gebbs Hendy ................... 4816 Josey Circle   
    Sherryn Marie Smythe .................. 4820 Josey Circle   
    Melvin Hawthorn, Jr. ................. 4823 Josey Circle   
    Charles Nesh .......................... 4824 Josey Circle   
    Trivia Yashica Watken ................ 4827 Josey Circle   
    Pamela Tomas .......................... 4828 Josey Circle   
    etc.   
      
   And, in another post, I showed the BSSID nearest to each of those   
   buildings, right? (I'm not going to put it together here for reasons that   
   I'm not trying to dox people.)   
      
   So what are you asking me to answer?   
    a. Are you disputing I have the named owner of every home in the USA?   
    b. Or are you disputing I have the BSSID of every home in the USA?   
      
   If your name was, oh, let's say Jeffrey Devin, and if you put that router   
   in the home that you own at 4306 Josey Circle, then I can track that AP   
   anywhere in the world if you then moved to another home, and took your   
   router with you.   
    c. Are you disputing I can track the location of that AP BSSID, Andy?   
      
   Note that by tracking the BSSID and knowing the owner of every home in the   
   USA (since that's a public record), I could tie it to you "if" you're the   
   owner. If you only rented the home, then I'd need more data to tie it to   
   you.   
      
   But in the USA, overwhelmingly, people own the home they live in.   
   So it's tied to the owner. Who, in this case, would be you.   
      
   Would it not?
