Here's a fun mental exercise...
Go to wherify.com and notice the subscriber
login on the main page.
Then click on 'wherify store' and you get a notification
(if you haven't turned them off) that you
are about to view pages over a secure connection.
Hmmmm... So apparently a parent would be sending
their 'security code' unencrypted over the internet,
giving access to anyone of real-time locations of
their children, while they are presumably away from
home under only the guard of an gps-based electronic
virtual babysitter.
Real secure. Don't worry though, the child is shackled to his/her electronic tether and can only remove the locator by making a call to the parents who then log on to the internet, *with the same unencrypted security code*, to remotely unlatch the electronic-watch-cuff.
Well, at least my credit card number will be secure. Gee, should i get the 'liberty', 'freedom', or 'independence' plan?
P.S. Son/daughter, if kidnapped, make sure you don't
leave the coverage area, ok? ]
