If you had two of these and spaced them a bit apart, could they be used to track the physical location WiFi users? I'm not sure of the benefit of such a thing, but it might be useful in some situations to be able to determine the exact location of a WiFi user. One example that comes to mind might be that someone is trying to hack into your WiFi network and you want to find out where they are.

Triangulation = 3 points, the two cantennas and the wireless receiver you're trying to find.
