Just Because You're Paranoid Doesn't Mean You Aren't Being Tracked

Oh, the things that show up in my inbox. Apparently, it's easier than ever before to be a stalker. If you want to keep track of someone's whereabouts every second of every day, well, you're in luck. There's an affordable product designed just for you: the Trackstick.

This lovely little device has convenient magnetic mountings for quickly and quietly attaching it to your victim's (err, surveillance target's) car, and is integrated with Google Earth so that you can see a bird's eye view of everywhere the device has been.

Now I'm sure that this is a great tool for law enforcement and the Homeland Security folks. But what's most worrying to me is the first line of the company's description of its product:

"The Super Trackstick is the perfect tool for individuals, law enforcement and government agencies looking for a way to track anything that moves."

Notice that "individuals" come first in that list. And at $269, it's cheap! (Well, relatively.)

Made any enemies lately? I'd check under my rear bumper for one of these little babies, if I were you.
