This is important. This is "passive/active". You don't even need to own the AP.

The system, called BFId, requires no specialized hardware, no access to the target Wi-Fi network, and works even if the person being tracked isn't carrying a wireless device. The team tested the attack on 197 participants, the largest dataset ever used in Wi-Fi-based identification works, and plans to present its findings at the ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) in Taipei.

From the post:

>Security researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany have published a paper demonstrating that unencrypted beamforming data broadcast by Wi-Fi devices during normal operation can be used to identify individuals walking through a room with 99.5% accuracy, regardless of whether the individuals are carrying Wi-Fi devices. The tactic leverages the router's beamforming tech to identify individuals with up to 99.5% accuracy, and it works with existing routers, too.

So if a random person the "researchers" didn't know walks in, it could identify them? Identify in this case is "ID someone we already know of" and not actually identify people whether they carry a spy device or otherwise.

One must consider the massive amount of this tech deployed in public places that then can be used to match that data with visual/cell/bluetooth/etc data. The net is large and cast everywhere.

One must also consider the amount of pilpul that the jews spread to keep people in fear and self-policing attitudes. As with most "breakthroughs", the lies are always proven not to scale into the real world. The kikes wouldn't need (((Flock cameras))) if WiFi surveillance was so good. But go ahead and (((trust))) the (((experts))). They got everything correct with the jewflu.

Why do you think 5G is such a big thing? It requires way more towers with shorter range but higher bandwidth.

That just makes it far easier to get exact locations of devices even in transit.
