Numerous papers showing the ability to easily map indoors areas with WiFi (including occupancy) it’s a liability.

"Will turn off"... are you claiming that consumer-grade routers have a secret backdoor kill switch that one government or another can use to turn them off? That's a little hard to believe (even when they are security Swiss cheese).

Occupancy sensing is a FEATURE on comcast home routers. It notifies you if someone is moving in the house and probably sells the occupancy data also. Makes location data from other sources far more valuable and verifiable.
