Its probably quite good for places where id badges are bad due to risks of moving machinery like drills/lathes or warehouses where you can open the door so you can get the stock moved without having to slow down but just clasp your hands together or just place in pockets if you don't want to be range id'd so its not really a great surveilance tool when you can spot it since everyone suddenly seems to be doing a vulcan greeting

Thanks for the links MS.

It's almost like a bad movie. The most unsettling thing about modern surveillance is how much we all contribute to it. Unwittingly all be it sadly often completely ignorantly at that. Any federal or state agency (or suffieciently dedicated stalker) could almost instantly put together a pretty complete picture of my life. From locations I frequent to specific computer terminals I use, to trends showing who I'm likely to be accompanied by to what i spend money on and when.

We weave a web of personality across cyberspace and I can't help but wonder where the end is. There is a digital whirl wind of thoughts and actions flying from my fingertips right now.

It's like we are our who we are but we are eminating this digital ghost that holds all our secrets and will share them with even the lowest bidder...

I reall ydon't know how to feel about it. I also don't believe anything can be done about if we choose to continue to embrace the world we've created. Wonderous as it is it's perils are boundless and ever increasing.
