GPS-tracking clothes walk a thin line

snow hike

Would you wear an article of clothing designed explicitly to track your movements and whereabouts? Of course not, you're probably saying. That's crazytalk. Well, what if you were going into the wilderness? On a hike or a ski trip, something of that nature? Not so crazy now, is it? That's what you get for being so closed minded.

Covert Asset Tracking Systems Ltd plans to unveil their line of GPS trackable clothing at CES next month, allowing people to see where you are over the internet while you're out getting in touch with nature. It's all well and good for outdoorsmen, but let's keep it on the adventurers, shall we? The first parent who buys one of these jackets for their kid and doesn't tell him or her what it really does should be put in jail.

obviously, the tracking of individuals without their consent and/or knowledge is illegal and as such all parents will be advised to do so.

the primary aim of the equipment is to protect and reassure not to monitor.
