[Fergie]

It's already been tried with RFID (tracking children "for their

W.R.T. tracking via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. let's just say that
I presonally dislike Bluetooth because of the security implications,
and do not own a single piece of Bluetooth gear. ;-)

I can't wait until it becomes mandatory for everyone who doesn't want
to be suspected of "terrorism", of any kind. They'll probably first
sell it to us as a means of protecting our children...
