    Sensationalist bullshit headline. This is not new. Wifi is just high-frequency radio waves, which have always been able to penetrate most typical walls. Using wifi to detect movement is not new, either.

    Just Comcast being Comcast.

      Thats not even the cool proof on concept type of shit that’s out there. There’s people figuring out how to steal data from the vibrations of a hard drive, through walls
