Baltimore to Test Cell Phone Traffic Monitoring. Momoru writes "The Baltimore Sun is reporting that a Canadian company, Delcan NET, will begin testing a technology that determines the flow of automobile traffic by monitoring cell phone traffic. The company promises a revolutionary way to determine backups, but privacy advocates fear the implications of a third party tracking users by their cell phones." [Slashdot]
The history of governments putting up spy cameras at major intersections and freeway overpasses suggests that the privacy advocates are right to be concerned--and that it won't matter, because very few people in America actually value their privacy.
