Secret Code in Color Printers Lets Government Track You

Quote:

San Francisco - A research team led by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) recently broke the code behind tiny tracking dots that some color laser printers secretly hide in every document.

The U.S. Secret Service admitted that the tracking information is part of a deal struck with selected color laser printer manufacturers, ostensibly to identify counterfeiters. However, the nature of the private information encoded in each document was not previously known.

"We've found that the dots from at least one line of printers encode the date and time your document was printed, as well as the serial number of the printer," said EFF Staff Technologist Seth David Schoen.

Now that you've made another lame attempt to play The Conservative Devil's Advocate, I'll point out your mistake....

At least try to come up with one bullshit reason WHY you support your position so that the people that you debate with will have something to think about...Just saying "I think this is a good thing" is stupid.

So why don't you think real hard and come up with a reason and whoever wants to debate with you can get going....

I appreciate the good idea for that... even though it's a bit "big brotherish". I'll live.
