Silicon Valley - Dan Gillmor's eJournal - Electronics Giant Bans Own Products Inside its Sites

Silicon Valley - Dan Gillmor's eJournal - Electronics Giant Bans Own Products Inside its Sites: "But it begs a longer-range question. Cameras will soon be impossible to see. They'll be in our glasses, our clothing and eventually in our very bodies, and will be so small that it'll take serious effort to see them. The implications for industrial espionage, surveillance and peeping-tom-ism are depressing if you value privacy and security.
Look for draconian laws -- the kind where you potentially go to the slammer for using a hidden camera. Would that be the least bad solution? I'm not sure, but this issue will not go away."
