Sounds like some of the patient's in Bodi's wife's hospital need to complain
about the HIPPA violation! That will bring it to an end very quickly.

That's really too bad. We were going to make RFID tags that could be put on
doctors, nurses, patients, laptops, PDAs, and other hospital assets, to enable
things like: When a doctor walks up to a laptop of PDA, the system sees they
are close together, and enables a login window for the doctor to log in, then
when the doctor and his PDA walk up to a patient, the system again sees the
proximity, and broadcasts the patient's records onto the PDA. The idea is to
cut down on medical mistakes that result in 100,000 deaths a year, or so I've
heard.
But leave it to the unscrupulous few to make use of such technology, not for
the safety and benefit of patients, but for the invasive monitoring and control
of their staff.
You can't build anything potentially beneficial that some people can't figure
out how to use to the detriment of others.

Here's a true story.. This stuff is real, it's not fantasy land.
My wife works at a hospital. Last year they issued "Collars" for all
employees, even the health professionals (my wife). I told my wife they were
doing that for "Total Control", and would use them to monitor everyones
movements, track you, who you are talking to, and what you are saying. She
scoffed, and said I was being ridiculous about the matter. What happens? Her
friend is fired, they claimed she was in the break room too much during her
shift. How did they know? Yup.. The tracking collars they all have to wear
around their necks. My wife kind of looked at me with a scared look, then said
"Unbelievable...".. Also, this device violates "HIPPA" regulations, why? It
broadcasts confidential patient data over a non-secure network, and broadcasts
it verbally into a room regardless of where someone is, and who is listening.
Funny this, a year before my wife got one of those "Work Surveys" they claim
are anonymous. I told my wife to absolutely not fill it out, saying they know
exactly who does them, that there is an embedded code in them. She scoffed,
said I was being ridiculous. The hospital also has a so-called "Anonymous" tip
line for people with complaints about the work environment or their bosses..
Well you can guess what happens next, one of her co-workers gets booted for
saying her bosses are losers on these "Services".
One you sort of figure it out, all of this stuff starts to become more and
more obvious. The first thing you lose is your innocent view of society -
sadly.

You might want to explain what a "cell repeater" is if you are warning
against it.
Also, what are we looking for and where re tracking devices in clothing?
It would help to know what we are looking for.
Thanks.
