Well that sucks. No one is closeted now. Your phone will report your arousal to stalkerware data slavers. It would not surprise me if it already did but has never been documented.

    A drone can fly by with a gun and use wifi to tell which room you are in in your home, shoot you through the wall, and see if your heart is still beating. If so, repeat untill dead.

    10 feet in ideal conditions isn't very far

    “The signal is very sensitive to the environment, so we have to select the right filters to remove all the unnecessary noise,”

    should be trivially easy to shield or make an environment excessively noisy
