Re: brix-n-mortar tracking…

Thx for these.

The brick and mortar and online need the same rules.  Opt in for  
tracking.  Even more, people  need to track their own stuff in order  
to be able to see and control the ways commercial organizations  
interact with our personal life.

Which is where standards in notice and usability facilitating the  
transparency so people can see.  Bottom line it is creepy - very creepy.
