Indeed, this could be closer than most people think. I do a spot of bluejacking while in traffic jams, and quite regularly (about 10-30% of all discoverable BT devices I spot on the road during this pass time) I see BT names that are definately not normal cell phones, PDA's or headsets, but have an "embedded technology serial number" quality about them. Just a couple of days ago I marveled at one that was named "Audi ########" (where the ######## stands for some alphanumerical code of now unknown length which I cannot recall from memory). How many people are already driving around in cars that contain BT discoverable embeded technology without them noticing? ;-)
