I had a weird experience this morning on the way to work.
I ride the BNSF Aurora - Chicago express train (Metra), and I had my laptop stumbling. While on the 40 minute ride downtown, I saw a "Peer" show up 6 times on the trip, always with the SSID "CHI".

It's MAC address was altered each time too.

Could this be another stumbler possibly on the same train? (9 car train, each car about 100 feet long)
Perhaps they we're changing the MAC address while they scanned? Kinda strange. The mac address did not show up under vendor.
