That was counting anyone with a highly directional antenna. :)

I looked into using cantenna designs to connect distant buildings
via WiFi once - you'd need one at both ends in order to have some
sort of hope. Plus anyone parked by the road for any period of time
out here would be highly suspicous even before you put a big dish
on the roof into the picture. Other houses are at kilometer distances
away.
