Actually, you can detect what radio stations people are listening to.  I
remember seeing it on the news that someone was collecting statistics on
what radio stations people were listening to in their cars.  This was in
the Phoenix area.  I will post more info once I find it again.

That's really interesting, please do post more info.

I knew when I posted the radio analogy someone was going to reply with
"but, uhh, you can do that", but I've never actually seen the process
demonstrated.

Although it might be hard to use this to detect intruders on wireless
networks.  It would really depend on what mechanism makes it possible.

The only practical radio sensor detection application I've seen of
this is with radar detectors and the VG2 radar-detector-detector.  I
don't understand how it works, but I'd like to.
