Emotional reactions are understandable, but if you take a step back, the technology could be used in a very different way. The problem is not that it uses sounds which are difficult to hear. The problem is that it does this without user's consent.

Thank you, and yes I should clarify that I'm against that kind of espionage use. It's the technology itself that seems promising for other purposes.
