Wireless in the city

Thanks to Google, I’ll finally be able to get wireless anywhere in the city. Most importantly, that I means I can use my laptop on Muni and possibly BART. If there was one idea that was past it’s time, it was to put freaking wireless on the train.

Unless, wireless + BART = Terrorism?

“We had to shut off the wireless and lock the underground bathrooms do to a ‘heightened security alert.’”

Another thought I had was if there is wifi all over the city, wouldn’t triangulation be possible? An iPaq with a wireless card stashed in each bus would make it possible to track when busses would arrive and where they are. Muni already has a similar system to this, but it is only on a few lines for some strange reason. You can look at it over on Nextbus.
