The total paranoia on this thread is rather amusing.

People, on a daily basis, through their every day life, do far more to provide the kind of information that they are afraid that this technology could provide, but does not.

The government should not be in the business of paying private companies to track, individually or in aggregate, the citizenry. Private solutions are in place that do not collect indivually identifiable data (such as traffic.com)

Do you actually believe that it's a conservative point-of-view to support the government sponsoring competition against private enterprises, especially to collect tracking data via a private contractor?

But they do it voluntarily, thats the difference
