This is a bit like saying: Strangers looking for house #48 on my street are not allowed to look at my door and use my street number #42 on it to orient themselves. I am all for privacy, but this is a bit paranoid. Google is not distributing any information about an access points. A phone using wifi based location services simply listens to already existing SSID broadcasts. If you don't want your SSID broadcasted, turn off the broadcast. Is there aspect of this that I don't understand?
