An interesting, simple formula, no? So Nike and IPod came up with this walkers' runners' joggers' device that lets them keep record of their work out. They drop it in their shoe and forget about it, as they advertise. Its sold in the "on" position and although it has an off switch, some people may not see the reason or desire to turn it of, as that is not a requirement.
Some kids at the university of Washington figured out how to use this new gadget against the user, and track their every move. Quote:

Let me see if I got this right, the tracker has to be within range of 60 feet to work?
This doesn't sounds that dangerous they want it to sound. :|
