    This being a "feature" that is openly implemented in Wifi is new, but the technical ability to do something like this has been around for several years. They are actually able to identify people through walls with it. As an aside, are they going to call it Wi-dar, Ra-Fi, or SpyFi?

      They are gonna go with SpyFi obviously! It's catchy and hip! "SpyFi your life" the ad will say :)
