What's even more fun is that your phone is also broadcasting those SSIDs to the world as you walk down the street, if you have wifi enabled, and likely also your unique MAC address.

So anyone in wireless range of you can 1) track you and recognize you again, and 2) possibly figure out where you work and live (although of course they may see your friends' wifi networks too and not be able to tell which is your network.)
