Wouldn't that be expected? I mean wi-fi and radio signals are just on different parts of the same spectrum. And we have had radar since the 1930s. Heck even sonar works on the same principle. With higher frequency comes greater detail, as mentioned in the article. But I would also expect it to have far less useful range.

I think the surprise here is that WiFi routers were not built with surveillance hardware in mind. At least at first.
If there was an option to buy a router with surveillance sonar vs a router without sonar, I'm sure most people would buy the one without the surveillance hardware. But unfortunately it doesn't seem like anyone has that option if they want to use WiFi.
Yeah society now a days wants to force a risk management lifestyle. So think authoritarian dictatorship level monitoring with surveillance everywhere and you get the idea. Every second of your life they want to be monitoring you which is what fascists love.

Exactly who is watching 350 million people? 350 million other people? There's a line between privacy concerns and paranoia.
Sounds like a NSA agent
