Wired is reporting that "If you enhance your workout with the new Nike+ iPod Sport Kit, you may be making yourself a surveillance target. A report from four University of Washington researchers to be released Thursday reveals that security flaws in the new RFID-powered device from Nike and Apple make it easy for tech-savvy stalkers, thieves and corporations to track your movements." — Run Forrest, run!

MSN is carrying the story of the federal arrest of the operators of what they refer to as a "preteen modeling site". The article refers to 'provocative' photos of kids, but goes on to say that "There are no semi-nude or nude images." From the article, it sounds to me like the operators were bending, but not quite breaking, US law. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
