I never really buy into the idea that just because there is some tracking (for any definition of `some`) that we should accept all other tracking.
Anyone with a credit/debit card has been tracked since the day they got it, but it doesn't mean that every subsequent intrusion should blithely accepted.
My comment posted as a reply to the wrong comment. Oops.
Anyhow, I agree. My reply was in response to another comment which seemed to imply that this program was the difference between being tracked or not, which is a silly sentiment in London.
I agree in principle that this kind of tracking isn't okay. I'm just not sure that the implications are worse than the status quo in this case.
