I remember when the University of Michigan added digital photographs to their ids. Made it so that your picture would be stored in the system, and you had to ask to have it removed. I pitched a fit, thinking about all the nefarious purposes that stored picture could be used for. By that time they had already begun to track our purchases, and our travel (to get into the dorms after hours instead of using a key, you had to use your id).
Of course I got used to it. We all did. And now that I'm on the other end, I have access to pictures of students and all types of sensitive data.
How long do we have before this becomes commonplace among professionals? How long before Falwell, Cokely, and the others tell folks to get their guns and watch out for the black copters?
Dude, get a job in the real world. This kind of tracking has been going on for years.
