Comment on Humans can be tracked with unique 'fingerprint' based on how their bodies block Wi-Fi signals

  The tracking happens even with a big reflector/scatterer on your head, but as long as you dont wear it regularly, the system would have difficulty identifying you from wave propagation alone

    So wear many different hats. Got it.

      I mean, wouldn’t you anyway? You don’t wear your good Sunday tinfoil hat to work. That one’s for church and swinger club visits only!

        Yeah, wouldn’t want to have to change hats, when I go to the swinger club after church.

        Have you tried turning off the router?

  Since it ‘figerprints’ you, changing your fingerprint by blocking parts of the signal with pieces of foil doesn’t seem like a terrible idea.

  Now, the question is: is such a tactic like wearing gloves, or like using super glue?
