   Wishfull thinking much ?   If he doesn't I will.

   :-)  You're just telling us exactly what you've done, so we can repeat it   
   ourselves.  In my country thats called "aiding and abedding" - which can   
   easily land you into jail.   
      
   > a. Are you disputing I have the named owner of every home in the USA?   
      
   You already asked that.   
      
   > b. Or are you disputing I have the BSSID of every home in the USA?   
      
   If he doesn't I will.   Also, *the* BSSID ?  Just a single one ?  What are   
   you ? Poor ?

    Thats a rather big "if", don't you think ?   It certainly trashes your   
   initial claim that you could track *everyone* (all over the world).   
      
   > But in the USA, overwhelmingly, people own the home they live in.   
      
   Tell that to all the poor city-dwellers who predominanty rent they places.   
      
   Who are, by the way, in close proximity and often stacked several layers   
   ontop of each other.  Which ofcourse makes a mockery of any claim that a   
   certain location will al;ways point to a single home.   
      
   > So it's tied to the owner.   
      
   :-)  You're "cooking the books" there.   
      
   > Who, in this case, would be you.   
   >   
   > Would it not?   
      
   Chances are - for multiple reasons as indicated in the above - he's not.   
      
   You're playing the "no true Scotsman" falacy there* : when you do not like a   
   certain result you just discard it - leaving you with a meaningless, small   
   subset, but all confirming what you wish to claim.  Duh. Also, blergh.

   Bottom line : you *might* be able to track someone when you are given a   
   persons name. - if the stars align just right.
