> I hope no one minds me putting this up here:

I took a look at the Path Intelligence website.  It's actually the case that you
would track individuals to within a few meters using their cellphones without 
their
knowledge?  What about privacy concerns?  It's one thing to be monitored by 
security
video in "expected" places (entrances, store isles, ATMs, etc), it's another to 
be
tracked.

Open source radio software already has run into resistance at the FCC, not a 
good
thing.  In my opinion, applications like this may not help and could fuel 
naysayers
inside the government.  They are likely to ask... if you can do it, then who 
else
can?
