I would be able to see that if I were monitoring your network unless you were extremely low power and then really - what's the point?

It was very low power and only good for about 10 feet. It would work in certain stalls in the men's room...

10 ft I would see. For bluetooth that isn't low power though...

you guys have some killer wifi, with the whole clean air thing that will tell you what is interfering with wifi even if it's microwaves, cordless phones, whatever.
