I'm from the Boston area, and recently there was a big exposé regarding Big Dig officials and workers drinking on the job, and taking entire days to go shopping all on the company's (and the taxpayers) dime. Had there been GPS tracking of these people, monitoring officials would have known right away what these people were doing, and we wouldn't be billions of dollars over budget on this hog of a project (Well, we probably would still be, but it wouldn't be nearly as much as it is).

It seems that whenever someone talks about using technology to track someone's movements or communications, immediately the civil rights people have to jump on it and scream about how its a violation of people's civil rights. If you're on the job, your boss has every right to know where you are during regular business hours. Don't want to be tracked after hours? Don't use your company phone after hours for personal use.
