Yep, that's where I heard just how bad it was....been an Art Bell fan for years, heck, he's a Ham, so I try and support other Hams...
The ARRL site has several different videos and sound clips showing just what the BPL does....now, these tests were with a restricted number of modems...imagine, if you will, thousands of modems in you neighborhood relaying everything from how many eggs are in your refrigerator, to how cold did you turn your Air Conditioner's thermostat (better not go below 78 in the summer or big Brother will be after you), what the DVD you watched last night was, and if you have young kids and don't have the "V" chip enabled....
And remember those paranoids that used to claim that the TV set sees you as you are watching it? Well, with a pinhole webcam hidden in a TV this could be a reality...
I can really see the potential for a lot of abuse....and an almost concrete reason for paranoia.....
