I guess I'm with SCOTUS on this one.  Sure, collection of ESSIDs is
something we haven't seen before, and some people who don't understand
this aspect of running an access point would probably not like it for
whatever reason.

But it's unreasonable to place the burden on Google or anyone else to
sort out the difference?  Personally, I kind of like the idea that I'm
contributing to the building of a brave new digital world.  Why should
someone who doesn't like the idea get to influence the outcome, when
he or she can easily opt out of participating?

I still don't understand why anyone would object, anyway.
