I'm not sure why you, Carlos, are playing childish fifth-grade games.

It's a fact that I have apps on my phone which can report
- The location, the IP address, movement, and direction
- Accurate BSSIDs of all available WiFi access points
- Accurate tower IDs of all visible SIM-specific cell towers
- The IMEI, network, battery, and tons of other hardware info
etc.

What's your point in playing silly games Carlos?
Why not use your appreciable intelligence to _improve_ our security?

Let's work together, for example, to disseminate information on how to
*block* or *detect* the transmission of our sensitive data to places we
don't want it disseminated.

That would be a lot more effort on your part than playing silly games.

Why not stop playing silly games, Carlos, and improve the knowledge here?


It's clear that the wardriving apps know not only physical location, but
signal strength of all available WiFi APs and cellular towers.

For you to play your silly games, Carlos, just wastes my time, and yours.

Please stop wasting everyone's time with your silly games, Carlos.

You are only proving that you've never comprehended what a wardriving app
actually does for Christs' sake.

Why don't you re-focus your appreciable intelligence, Chris, on *improving*
our capabilities to detect and block any of that information from being
disseminated outside our control?
