I'm not thrilled about the government planting technology in products to keep track of us. Does my cellphone carrier have a log of where I was every hour of every day? Does my ISP have a log of what websites I visit and copies of the email I send and receive? Does my car keep records of how fast I drive? I'm sure the answer is or will be "yes". If I am lawabiding, does it matter? Depends how much you trust the government. In this War On Terror environment, couldn't another Joe McCarthy emerge, just as he did during the War On Communism? You speak out against a war or some other government policy, and suddenly you're under surveillance? Who here thinks that Rumsfield, Bush, Cheney et al give a whit about your privacy and civil rights?
