IM(Paranoid)O, it puts the "inadvertent" collection of SSIDs while driving down every street taking pictures for Google View into a new context. They gave a simply implausible explanation that this data was recorded "inadvertently". (No, fitting all those vehicles with the equipment and software would cost serious money!)

Marry the Geo-location, SSID, phone owner and passwords and you've got real information for the authorities. On Everyone.
