phone from?

You know, there is an agency out there you

know,

that actually has a copy of everything on

your

cell phone which is a fine thing if you lose

your

cell phone, it's good that you can get all

of

your data back but again that information

could

be available under court order to someone

who

could file a civil suit against you this is

the

example of ourselves being our own worst enemies.

One condition for employment for a lot of

major corporations is that in your

employment contract there's actually a clause

that allows your employer to monitor

what you do on the computer and if I want

to log onto a website or you know to

check on the political returns or whatever

it may be that that's something...

Hey, I've got a fifteen minute break why not?

And to discover later that your employer was

doing that, making

judgments on you on the basis of your politics

and the basis

of your interests 38 00:16:56,298 --> 00:16:58,298

really

could be, you know, it could get people in

trouble and it has.

Invention of the electronic swipe lock, where

they would give you a card which would be

reprogrammed so you know once you've checked

out

it can no longer be used to open the same

door.

It was a great security improvement there

lighter

than keys of course a complete record of every

time (to the second) of every time you go

into

your room is being logged somewhere and uh...

you know if you go to the gym in the morning

they know when you went into the gym.

If you go in the back door of the hotel after

the door gets locked you know

that's being logged as well and you know this

is very useful information for

forensic purposes but does any of us know

weather this information is being

exploited commercially for any reason you

know are they correlating my..

let's say record of whether I go into the

gym

with, whether I had a free Friday breakfast

in the morning which they also have because

we use the same ID at the hotel dining hall

in the morning and they use the same record

to bill me for both the room and my meal so

what happens to the information how does it

get correlated, who does it get shared with?

Somehow the various national banks and various

counterfeit

investigative entities convinced this printer

industry

association that it would be in their interest

to include

a tracking mechanism in all coloured laser

printers that

they sold and the basic mechanism that's generally

been

used is patterns of very tiny yellow dots

the arrangement

of the yellow dots in codes in some way or

another the

serial number of the printer that produced

the document.

So if you have any document that was printed

on a colour laser printer

and the appropriate knowledge you can reconstruct

which printer out

of all the colour laser printers in the world

produced that document

and the same technology is also included in

colour photocopiers.

There's a couple of initiatives to monitor

whether or not

people wash their hands when they go into

the bathroom

and they operate by using an access pass or

an ID badge

that employees would have that read the tag

that determine

whether or not you use the soap dispenser

whether or not

you turned on the sink it can actually monitor

you in what

I think are the most private of all locations,

you would

have these people monitoring every single

breath you take.

There's got to be a point at which you say

some things are

private and so we are all adults here we are

responsible

and if you're employing me and you need somebody

you

trust and not be prying into my personal business.

Almost everything you do is traced, everything

you buy

is tracked, my car's equipped with OnStar

you know they

know where I am at any second I can push a

little bottom

on the mirror and it will tell me precisely

where I am.

You know some of this stuff is good, some

of it's bad.

If I was a car thief it would be bad because

OnStar can also

turn the car off while I'm in the process

of steeling it.

So in the communications theory area what

we're talking about is systems

or programs to try to keep track of what people

are saying on the

phone, surveillance of what people send in

an email, surveillance of

the records of who you talk to when you talk

to them and for how long.

Then on the other side location surveillance,

we are very

much into systems that track where you go

and everyday life.

This is really a growing area of concern.

You get that with the growth of the public

video

surveillance cameras that actually watch you

and

record your images while your in public places

or

in shopping malls or pretty much anywhere

that

also comes about from GPS devices which can

allow

you to track cell phone technology can allow

you

to be tracked and then finally of course RFID

tags which can allow you to be truly tracked

so.

You have a lot of different modalities of

location surveillance they're are all

of great interest both to the government and

also to commercial marketers.

It's almost impossible really to live off

the grid.

You have to live without credit cards; you

have to live without bank accounts.

It's hard to go in and out of the country.

You know one of the areas about which I've

been alarmed

is the kind of information you have to give

up at the

border when you go in and out if you carry

a computer

with you US border security asserts the right

to inspect

what's on your computer in the same way they

can inspect

what's within your suitcase and since our

whole lives

now for many of us are on our laptops pretty

much

everything professional and personal about

us is there

so we've seen certainly that the FBI they

are customers

of ChoicePoint they will call up data about

people

from ChoicePoint and they say well if any

merchant can

use ChoicePoint why can't we so it's a very

promiscuous

world when it comes to data about us because

both the

government wants to know about us and private

businesses

want to know about us and when they gang up

on everyday

people that's really quite an unholy alliance.

Hey.

- How are you?

- Good, how are you?

- Pretty good.

So this comes to $3.75 Thanks.

Lets retry.

Lets try one more time.

I'm sorry sir this card doesn't seem to be

working.

Hello.

The ''eat and run'' that's right.

Yes I've just been trying it, it's a Mr.

John Wilson.

Yeah he is right here.

it's for you.

- Hello?

Oh yeah.

Just regular things, gas, groceries, coffee.

Oh!

OK.

Yeah.

OK.

Bye.

It seems that a guy a couple of states over

has been using

my card too bad I cant keep the plasma TV

and motorcycle.

- That's too bad.

Many of us can't think of the things we normally

purchase

on our credit card and the convenience which

it is to use a

credit card and how much of your daily life

is visible through

your credit card statement, it's pretty amazing

right?

So I can see patterns of abuse, patterns of
