They probably had their reasons for recording the data; whatever that may be.
There is no law for them to disclose it or not to. It would be interesting to see a wifi map on that magnitude.
Here is something else to be afraid of from an old paper.
“A British hacker has shown how easy it is to clone US passport cards that use Radio Frequency ID chips by conducting a drive-by test on the streets of San Francisco. Chris Paget, director of research and development at Seattle-based IOActive, used a $250 Motorola RFID reader and an antenna mounted in a car's side window and drove for 20 minutes around San Francisco, with a colleague videoing the demonstration. Paget picked up the details of two US passport cards, which are fitted with RFID chips and can be used instead of traditional passports for travel to Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean Paget claimed that it would be relatively simple to make cloned passport cards from the information he had gathered.”
