Sound's like fun, Bill. Don't worry about your GPS telling everyone where you are, if your vehicle isn't already doing so (GM's On-Star continuously updates them where you are, but they claim it isn't being saved to disk... right, I believe everything GM tells me!), then your cell-phone is telling the nearest tower "here I am..." (to save the day??). Anyway, in the early 1980's the Army commissioned a study to find out what it would take to build a network to track an individuals movements. The results of the study indicated the Army should relax because the system was already in place, it's called ATM's and Credit Card purchases. Doesn't bother me in the least, but folks should be aware that it's happening. One thing you might want to be a bit paranoid about, however, are RFID devices (Radio Frequency ID), which are minuscule little chips that cost about a dime, they are passive devices, meaning that they need to be scanned, but they can be placed unnoticed in your clothing by Wally World. Unbelievable to me, there are nightclubs that are now inserting them under their willing patrons skin, which allows them access to the VIP room without having to bother swiping a credit card... Wow, am I off topic!
