In the Chips

I’m sure some of you, the resigned, who are shrugging right now, having made peace with the fact that personal privacy is a thing of the past and quietly pleased that you’ll never need worry about leaving your card key at home again unless you somehow manage to misplace your arm.  At the other extreme are the outraged; those who feel that unless they fight back now–and hard–the shreds of privacy we still maintain will soon fall away, leaving all of us completely exposed whether we like it or not.

I’ll be interested to see if anyone at the security firm quits–and goes public–over this. It has to happen someday, and soon. Then will come the inevitable lawsuits. And once we have some caselaw, things will really get interesting–or terrifying–depending on your point of view.
