Submission + - Creepy Spy Blimps Will Soon Hover Over Maryland (nymag.com)

Submitted by FarnsworthG
FarnsworthG writes: The thing is an multi-billion-dollar Army project that will soon be able to track nearly everything within 340 miles when the 80-yard-long blimps are hoisted into the air off of Interstate 95. Way to be subtle, guys.

Submission + - Shady car dealers install secret GPS trackers. 1

Submitted by FarnsworthG
FarnsworthG writes: A news story about the capture of a kidnapper mentioned that he was caught because a car dealer had secretly installed a GPS device on his car. Apparently this is becoming common for "buy-here-pay-here" dealers. The devices are sold by Spireon and Jalopnik among many others. Raises interesting privacy questions.
