knitterr rated 4 weeks ago- obviously, this ability has been in use for awhile and not by shopkeeps... department stores did not think up phone tracking all by their lonesomes. maybe the tinfoil hat is finding a legit use. take the tire-pressure monitors (search rfid)out of your car, too, while you're ditching your cellphone. THEN there's this: www.talkleft.com/story/2008/5/24/131113 /234and the U.S. has to use creepo-voyeuristic-type x-rays of our children and grandmothers at airports to "find" terrorists "But because the image is anatomically explicit, millimeter-wave screening is controversial. Denver(DIA),Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Los Angeles International, JFK International in New York, Baltimore-Washington International and Albuquerque International."

- Customers in shopping centers are having their every move tracked by a new type of surveillance that listens in on the whisperings of their mobile phones

- Isn't this what Edison Carter predicted on Network 23? Anyone remember what a "blank" was? Someone not registered with the system. Anyway, first it was RFID tags, now they're jacking with my cell phones.

- From the page: "Customers in shopping centres are having their every move tracked by a new type of surveillance that listens in on the whisperings of their mobile phones. The technology can tell when people enter a shopping centre, what stores they visit, how long they remain there, and what route they take as they walked around. The device cannot access personal details about a personâ€s identity or contacts, but privacy campaigners expressed concern about potential intrusion should the data fall into the wrong hands. The surveillance mechanism works by monitoring the signals produced by mobile handsets and then locating the phone by triangulation "measuring the phone's distance from three receivers."

- Amazing technology.. Wonder why they did not figure out how to do this along time ago.

- Shops secretly track customers via mobile phone Signals given off by phones allow shopping centres to monitor how long people stay and which stores they visit Did someone say George Orwell ? at least I heard someone say 'Big Brother' !
