On the up-side, when they collect and aggregate data on their 'secure' servers, it makes it that much easier for me to find what I'm looking for, since I don't have tap and sniff each and every device myself. However, it is sometimes difficult to map the data back to a specific physical device and location, because those tracking structures are poorly designed and managed.
