Lévy flight and random walk models suggest, human trajectories show that while most individuals travel only short distances and a few regularly move over hundreds of miles, they all follow a simple pattern regardless of time and distance, and they have a strong tendency to return to locations they visited before.

Privacy issues aside for a moment; They needed to conduct a study to realize this?

I had a friend who was police officer tell me this is how or why it is so easy to assassinate someone...because of same travel patterns etc...I had also heard this is why armored car trucks were allowed to travel any path they saw fit to complete they're routes...so as not to be able to predicted...don't know if that is true however and don't know that it would help much seeing as how the final stop is going to be at Wal-Mart picking up all the dough we give em.:damn:
