Streetview vans WiFi capture scandal - Enough with the conspiracy BS

Google Maps lovely StreetView feature is implemented with rather funny looking vans with cameras.

Those vans apparently collect WiFi hot-spots information.
This makes sense. Taking vans out all over the place is an operation Soooo expensive and complex, you want to preform as many tasks as you can.

WiFi AP locations is just another important layer of information on the map.

It turns out that google didn't just map the APs but also grabbed some traffic, and saved it on files.

OMG - what cries about Google using the SV vans for espionage etc, this is simply crap.

for two important reasons
1) the quality of the information collected by SV VANs is low.
2) Google has infinite amount of information they can dig into, endlessly superior to the captured WiFi traffic.
