Lesson 11- The Midnight Visitor
Nowhere you do, wherever you go, somebody probably has an eye on you.
It used to be that you could get in your car and drive off and, if you didn’t want to be found, no one would be able to find you. These days however, we leave a trail wherever we go and, if you know how, you can find almost anyone, anywhere.

Lesson 11- The Midnight Visitor
If your car has a Global Positioning
System (GPS) device, the police can track
it wherever it goes, just in case it gets
stolen. If you stop to buy gas, you might
pay with a Smartcard, which combines
the functions of your credit cards, ATM
cards, identity card and driver’s license.
Every purchase with a Smartcard leaves
an instant trail of dates, times and
locations, creating a perfect record of
where you’ve been and what you’ve been
doing.

Lesson 11- The Midnight Visitor
Perhaps you decide to buy a hat to block the cameras (don’t forget to pay cash!). Even then, you’re still easy to find, thanks to the cell phone in your pocket. Based on the signal strength from surrounding transmission antennas, your telephone operator can determine your exact location, even when your phone is turned off.
So, for those who value privacy over convenience, the only solution may be to live without cars, telephones, and credit cards. Oh, and don’t forget the hat.
