   I get it that you defend Apple to the death, no matter what.   
   So I understand why you're so desperate to minimize this security flaw.

   Any imaginative person can think of many instances where having a database   
   of all the people who moved and exact where from and to, is useful.   
      
   Let's just say California wanted to find all the people who moved from   
   California to Florida who retired to ask them to pay their 401K taxes.   
      
   It would be trivial, using Apple's WPS system, to find everyone in any   
   given county in Florida who recently moved there from California.

   I get it that you are desperate to claim always that Apple is perfect.   
   But the fact I can be tracked to 8 decimal places can't be excused.   
      
   I already provided plenty of quotes from security professionals on this.   
      
   If you want to continue your absurd desperate attempt to defend everything   
   Apple does, to the death, no matter what, please find at least one security   
   professional on record for agreeing with your dismissal of the problem set.

   If I was a Sheriff in a county of California that wanted to track all the   
   people who moved from a different county of California, I could track them.   
      
   I'm not advocating tracking, as you must know, but what I'm pointing out to   
   you is that I understand that you defend Apple to the death, no matter   
   what, using absurd arguments that are so nonsensical as to be ridiculous.   
      
   Why don't you find a security pro who agrees with your point of view?   
   (Even all the Apple-centric publications decried Apple for this.)
