Traffic analysis with real traffic

(I'm using the generic "you" here btw, not you specifically Harry)
Not just location. If LinkedIn, or any other app, has your calendar then they may also have:

Meeting: Monday, 8:00 am
Location: Some place it might be real easy to park a car bomb (or bugging device)
Subject: Proposed use of drones against Al Queda in Waziristan (and The Pirate Bay helicopter routers)
Attendees: Many, including quite a few we'd like to blow up.
Classification: We just got penetrated
Possible Attachments: Minutes of previous meeting with conclusions and action plan synced from Outlook.

I'm sure MI6 and the Special Branch would be very pleased with that.
