“unfortunately some people in certain areas where liberals thugs reign in govenrment can’t ignore it- they are getting arrested- and or fined”

The Founding Fathers went through a LOT worse than an arrest, a citation or a fine. Yet they kept fighting. Britain/England threw literally everything they had at them — and for that period of history, their military might was immense and their technology was state-of-the-art. There was no POSSIBLE way the Founding Fathers could have won against such an awe-inspiring opponent.

Yet they DID win. Their will was stronger, their determination greater, their balls enormous, and God Almighty had plans of His own for the men and the land, which did NOT include the British.

“I pray that gps systems don’t change and give civilian use of gps doesn’t get so precise that six feet can be resolved in our phones. This would be a military and strategic mistake that we will pay for very soon.”

Too late for prayers. Over 30 satellites up with new technology. Soon 6-foot resolution will seem crude.

“So if you have a couple of hundred people circulating in a grocery store during the day, they will all have contributed something to the air that is being breathed. The place I am standing now was occupied a few moments ago by someone else, and a few moments earlier by yet another person.”

EXACTLY. This is all magical thinking and mind games. “Forced audience participation, we’re bein’ oppressed!” And if the Chinese Flu can get into your eyeballs, we’re all going to get our turn anyhow.

It IS magical thinking; people act as if the six-foot rule means that you have some sort of invisible protective shield surrounding you.

“Soon 6-foot resolution will seem crude.”

Combined with Bluetooth Low Energy, we’re already down to a couple of inches.

And there are several ways a trio of drones could do the
same thing for all cell/radio devices in an area.

GPS is for outdoor, BLE is for indoor. How can you combine them?

“EXACTLY. This is all magical thinking and mind games. ‘

Wrong.

What is your point?

Drones. Sensors. Phone to phone, or back doors, or opt-ins.
BLE is short distance, but nothing stops it from working outside as well.

Sorry, you’re right, you did, I was reading through too fast.

"What is your point?"

The point is that the six-foot rule is silly because any viruses that we might have are emitted into the air which circulates throughout the entire store, and although masks - especially improvised masks - might reduce that a little bit, they don't prevent it entirely.

People act as if the six-foot rule surrounds us with an invisible protective shield, but in fact we are all moving around in the same air and breathing the same air.

You are obviously shooting from the hip and have not reviewed the basis for the 6-foot rule and the Wearing of masks.

Spitting out keywords does not an explanation make.

Sorry, extraordinarily sensitive sensors on drones and
elsewhere, can be used to detect and classify direction,
type, frequency, duration, strength, etc. of a wide range
of electromagnetic signals.

You can buy a relatively cheap meter from Amazon that will
detecct such things and even identify cell towers, wifi routers
and hot spots, microwave ovens, plus cell and wifi signals
from phones and more.

WIFI sources can already provide a means for tracking to
within inches. Check how the MTA is tracking trains with
a company called Piper.

I mentioned a trio of drones, because triangulation is
used to deduce specific locations, mostly by comparing
signal strengths/directions from multiple detectors.

Same can be done with BLE, once you get close enough to
detect it. Plenty such tech exists, awaiting only our
consent for its widespread use against us.
