Re: [TriLUG] OT (but with nerd question): City Manager's report on "The Event"

[Greg Brown]

Not only big brother but perhaps even a jilted ex-spouse who might hire 
someone to kidnap little (insert name here) or do the dirty work 
themselves.  Or maybe the system abuser will be some sicko who just 
wants to likes to kidnap and abuse kids... or sell them on the black 
market.  Identify some latchkey kids, follow them virtually around 
school and after via the Internet, identify normal patters of 
behavior.. you know when they get off the bus, how long they have to 
walk home, how long they will be at home alone, how long you have to 
abduct them.. yeah, bad idea.

Honestly, though, I wonder what John Walsh thinks about systems like 
this.

By the way: I think putting GPS in the buses for tracking is a cool

Well it gets even more interesting. Give the kids a school badge with 
an RFID
chip in it, then put a proximity reader by the front door of the bus, 
now
couple that with real time GPS.... Now we have big brother watching 
our kids
on the ride to and back from school. Parent will be able to check on 
the
location of their kids from home.

I am currently bidding on just such a system for a local school system 
:).
