I have an RTL SDR setup in a retail business receiving temperatures from sensors around the property. Besides the neighbors' weather stations I see a lot of TPMS coming, presumably, from the parking lot. I see the same cars regularly. I could definitely correlate them with the POS terminals and identify individual customers.

Most places where this would be legal there are probably much more effective ways to do it at the POS, even non-biometrically. Although yes you might consider usng TPMS as part of an ensemble.

I built a demo of this back when I worked at Qualcomm in Seattle; match this with WiFi beacons and you can trace a person fairly well. It's been over a decade, but at the time both iOS and Android would send pings fairly frequently to all known WiFi networks looking to see if they should switch to a faster one. With your device ID, list of SSIDs you know, and your TPMS data, a person can learn a lot about you.

Like, where do you work? Where do you stay (Hotel SSIDs)? Who are your friends (other people's home SSIDs)?
