That's sort of tangential to my point. There are reasons we might not want phased array radar systems picking up every move we make in the privacy of our own homes, independent of home automation applications, which is I presume what the post I was responding to was getting at. My point is that those desires of ours are irrelevant when it comes to whether or not the applications we don't want come to pass, because at some point there's going to be a financial incentive for someone to do it anyway.


It's your own phased array radar system--oooh such a scary word! It's an input device. If you're worried about it telling Google that you spent 30 minutes on the toilet this morning, then either monitor the traffic for odd connections or just block it from making any connections outside your LAN.


It's not necessarily your own. 2.4GHz goes through walls.
