   Once you have collected the location of every access point you want to   
   track movements of, all you need then is a trivial comparison script.   
      
   Again, I have no special coding skills, where I'm simply following the   
   recommendations the researchers explained showing how trivial it is to   
   track the location of every access point in Apple's highly insecure WPS db.   
      
   Remember, once you're in this highly insecure but very public Apple WPS   
   database, you can't opt out of it. Ever. So you're tracked forever!

   We need to impress upon Apple management that they have designed a WPS
