As an engineering project this is truly a resourceful and rather elegant solution to tune a Kahlman filter for positioning. But on the level of privacy ... big consequences. The BSSID allows tracking when someone moves to a different place. And since that's tied to GPS with multiple captures over time you get a pretty accurate location for the WiFi device.
