Cool. Maybe we should do entire airplanes around bluetooth. That way, any

Sorry, but that idea sounds like an awfully inviting drive-by target.


Bluetooth has a limited range -- about 10m absolute max. Do you often
fly overhead geeks at 36ft AGL?

Not only that, but Bluetooth also allows closed networks to be set up --
no access to anyone outside the selected group of devices.

Sorry, but you shouldn't get all sarcastic about someone suggesting a
technology that you clearly don't have a clue about.
