Cell Phones, Privacy, and Technological Voyuerism

[Prudence]

And to tie this into the other thread and the morals clause -- how long until companies require you to allow tracking software on your home computer to monitor your off-the-clock wanderings? We already have at least one company prohibiting its employees from smoking on their own time. Already many people have to certify that their home systems meet certain standards, in case they bring work home. (Which is nearly always a requirement.)

Locally, a county is requiring employees to commit to engaging in "healthy behaviors" and be interviewed to get certain levels of health benefits. (And the behaviors are so vaguely worded (and include behaviors like wearing seatbelts) that essentially anyone with a pulse qualifies -- begging the question: why? I imagine it's to set the precedent for enforcing more stringent requirements later.)

There are companies (and maybe even rental cars? or am I imagining that?) that track whether you speed in the corporate car, or track specific routes with GPS.
