Several recent technological developments have contributed to the ability of individ- uals and organizations to monitor people at a level of detail previously reserved for science-fiction movies. Global-positioning system (GPS) devices, video cameras, RFID tags, sensors [19], and other devices that permit fine-grained monitoring of objects and people are now produced with mass-market efficiencies and very low prices. Concurrent improvements in the capabilities and prices of networking and mass storage devices have made the collection and perpetual storage of detailed monitoring data not only feasible, but quite inexpensive. In fact, in most cases there are few, if any, technological reasons for ever destroying data collected in this manner.
