   Hi Andy,   
      
   Some access points are mobile hotspots (hell, some phones are set up as a   
   mobile hotspot), but the main claim the security professionals are making   
   is that Apple's WPS does two things that nobody else's WPS seems to do.   
    a. It makes *billions* of BSSID:location pairs available to all, and,   
    b. It makes the query of those billions of locations available to all.   
      
   It's hard for me to understand the "logic" from Chris & Frank that a BSSID   
   is "just a number", just as they would claim that a "white pill" is just a   
   pill.   
      
   What they can't comprehend is that the pill that is penicillin, is more   
   than just a pill as if you understood the combination, it does something.   
      
   To them, a BSSID paired with a location is the same everywhere in the   
   world. They can't fathom that it's more than just a simple white pill.   
      
   Is there ANYONE out there on this newsgroup who understand this concept?   
   Do you?
