Wishfull thinking much ?   If he doesn't I will.

Which is pretty useless.

:-)  You're just telling us exactly what you've done, so we can repeat it 
ourselves.  In my country thats called "aiding and abedding" - which can 
easily land you into jail.

> a. Are you disputing I have the named owner of every home in the USA?

You already asked that.

> b. Or are you disputing I have the BSSID of every home in the USA?

If he doesn't I will.   Also, *the* BSSID ?  Just a single one ?  What are 
you ? Poor ?

 Thats a rather big "if", don't you think ?   It certainly trashes your 
initial claim that you could track *everyone* (all over the world).

> But in the USA, overwhelmingly, people own the home they live in.

Tell that to all the poor city-dwellers who predominanty rent they places.

Who are, by the way, in close proximity and often stacked several layers 
ontop of each other.  Which ofcourse makes a mockery of any claim that a 
certain location will al;ways point to a single home.

> So it's tied to the owner.

:-)  You're "cooking the books" there.

Chances are - for multiple reasons as indicated in the above - he's not.

You're playing the "no true Scotsman" falacy there* : when you do not like a 
certain result you just discard it - leaving you with a meaningless, small 
subset, but all confirming what you wish to claim.  Duh. Also, blergh.

Bottom line : you *might* be able to track someone when you are given a 
persons name. - if the stars align just right.
