Nike+ IPod = Surveillance

Wired News: Nike+ IPod = Surveillance
Quote:
A report from four University of Washington researchers to be released Thursday reveals that security flaws in the new RFID-powered device from Nike and Apple make it easy for tech-savvy stalkers, thieves and corporations to track your movements. With just a few hundred dollars and a little know-how, someone could even plot your running routes on a Google map without your knowledge.
It seems this could belong in BOTH this forum and in Society & Rights.

Anyway, this article highlights some strange issues, including whether or not people really need electronic devices in their shoes.
