    Now that's a new discovery if you ever heard of one.

    Yeah, when the RF from the wifi device causes the bomb to blow up, they will say, "We found the bomb!" ;)

    It's just using a different part of the spectrum.

    Nice to know the experts have well charted those many diff spectrums and can differentiate between them all.

    Interesting find if all pans out well.

    So true

    Likely even better since their imaginations run Wild. And they also excel at experimentation.

    Well, some of the best "good guys" are just "bad guys" doing what you agree with ;)

    Afraid I don't agree with that. It is not really about good or bad. It is about right from wrong.

    But yes, some go the best good guys are bad guys doing what is right.

    Yeah, well. I get very suspicious when I hear talk of "right" and "wrong". Because it's rarely that simple.

    That's funny that they act like they just figured this out.
    WIFI in a home can outline humans and objects using technology. That's why it's in your house and the lead paint is gone bros! Be careful!

    I think it is that simple - at least in terms of figuring out what is right and what is wrong. What is often hard for many is doing what is right. And sadly, it is often greed that gets in the way.

    That said, some times, there is no right way. So you have to decide which is more right or less wrong. But still, with a little objective thought, it really is not that hard to figure it out.

    I get what you say. And I'm OK with figuring out for myself what's most right or least wrong. But I do get very suspicious when others start telling me what's right and what's wrong. And so I start looking for agendas.

    And that's find. But it is important to understand their agenda may only be to make sure you do the right thing since it is not always the easiest thing to see, or do. And they may have already been down that road.
