No, the next stage is GPS for all newborn infants. It's to,< cough >... protect the children, isn't it?

Stroke of a pen from that point to who the hell knows where?

LoJack for kids as a concept has been around a looong time. THAT one creeps me out. A synthisized "right" that many Americans (myself included) embrace is the unalienable right to get lost and to be left alone.

The technology in this thread is pretty good. It actually serves everyone if credit payments are made on time and the extra NVA expense of reposessions is avoided. It is also fair that the collateral for the loan is unavailable should the loan payment not be made.

Now if it moves to locks on homes, it would get interesting...

already have that. Even recomended it in a nasty child custody/visitation/support case. Its a watch device which costs around 400.00 dollars and about 20 dollars a month. It will even give you an time interval plot of locations. Its easier than a PI, gives immediat notice if removed, and is offensive as heck to everybody. Oh well that's divorce.
