Crazy Idea: Wifi Sensing
https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/02/27/1088154/wifi-sensing-tracking-movements/
This post is not about esoteric sensitives getting headaches from wifi, but about the cold hard physics of detecting high frequency wave modulations.
A high frequency generator is nothing but a wifi router.
Just like the technology in the "Dark Knight" video, WiFi sensing has a
resolution to see you breathing, and breathing can be used to identify you. https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(25)00583-4
Telekom is offering it commercially now for some of their routers. https://www.telekom.com/en/company/details/wi-fi-sensing-easy-and-simple-1087178
Lets give Alexa X-ray vision. Hackers can access it:

So governments can as well, only way to hide is by building faraday cages...

How Wi-Fi sensing became usable tech
After a decade of obscurity, the technology is being used to track people’s movements.

TIL about the UK’s 1833 Slavery Abolition Act: around 46,000 former slave owners were compensated by the government for lost “property” — a huge payout equivalent to billions today, making it one of Britain’s largest-ever state debts. No compensation was given to enslaved people themselves. [source, comments]

TIL the 3.5% rule: 3.5% of a national population peacefully protesting on the streets at once will ALWAYS topple a Dictatorship or democratic government. Moreover peaceful movements succeed twice as often as violent ones. This surprised even the Harvard political scientist who discovered it. [source, comments]

Trump uses ICE now as secret police to arrest US citizens. Just happened to Brad Lander, progressive candidate running for NYC mayor.
Trump already started this authoritarian behaviour during the BLM protests in 2020, when men pulled protesters into unmarked vans.
