Now the NSA can track you via your trainers as well as that iPhone you love so dearly.

“Shoes with an in-built tracking device to locate Alzheimer’s patients have gone on sale in the UK.
Designed to give worried relatives and friends piece of mind, the shoes enable the person with Alzheimer’s to be monitored remotely, giving them more freedom.
One of the most common concerns for families of an Alzheimer’s sufferer is that the person often becomes lost after getting confused and disoriented. The £250 shoes are fitted with a miniature GPS system – similar to those used in sat-nav systems found in cars – that allows its wearer’s location to be accurately pinpointed.

As if linking to the Daily Mail wasn’t bad enough, you clearly have no idea how any of this works. The shoe transmits to a satellite, and the satellite transmits to a phone? No. The SIM tracks the user? Erm, again, no.
Nice sensationalist story though. I’d love to know how you think this would be used to track regular Joe Public.
