The Housing Authority to track workers where abouts
The GPS system - that works on Sprint Nextel phones and walkie-talkies - sends location information from employee phones to a central computer, that inturn generates real-time maps and reports for employers. This information then gets imported into payroll or billing systems for time-sheet purposes. The Housing Authority is considering this technology to track their employees where abouts.

While I can see the valid uses of this technology. The technology is quite amazing. I have some pause in unfettered enthusiastic support for the product. My paranoia quickly ran into overdrive with thoughts of an overenthusiastic government tracking me, or worse my wife keeping tack on me or perhaps my boss wanting to know just what I am up to and just where I am when he is paying me.
Now I know that I am being paranoid here, as the government would not breach my right of privacy with this technology, umm wait on, did they not just install a monitoring office in a phone company, are they not doing this already. I guess the government is doing it so that pipe dream of freedom just bit the dust, but I know my partner would not do it, umm, maybe. My boss I know would, the only thing stopping him is his tightwad attitude, he may do the math and find that it is cheaper just to pay me rather than pay extra to find me.
Ya I think I would go by what swaggy said.
