There's nothing erroneous about reporting random mac addresses. I think that should be the default behavior for devices. Mac addresses shouldn't be used for tracking. If the airport reports valid data in an incorrect way that's their fault.
- omonra 12y agoIf you read my comment carefully you will see that I did not express the sentiment that you are arguing with. My point was that the parent comment action was primarily directed toward fellow passengers (ie it's a dick move towards them, airport staff aren't going anywhere :), not whether 'mac tracking' is right or wrong.
- Dylan16807 12y agoRandom MAC is fine. Pretending to be 20 devices is obnoxious.
- bloodorange 12y agoNo, it's not. One is free to preserve their privacy by using 20000000 if not 20 device MAC addresses. The aim is not to be tracked - which would imply changing the MAC address regularly.
- Dylan16807 12y agoRegularly is fine. Maintaining 20 simultaneous MAC addresses screws up things like DHCP and QoS.
- jghn 12y agoThe security theater is obnoxious. This is just gaming the security theater.
- Dylan16807 12y agoMeasuring line size has nothing to do with security or security theater.
- jghn 12y agoThe fact that the lines are as long as they are has everything to do with security theater.
