Other Wireless Technologies:

Stingrays (Cell site simulators):

Invasive cell phone
surveillance devices that
mimic cell phone towers:

transmitting their locations

and identifying information.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identity)

Tiny computer chips connected to
miniature antennas that can be
placed on or in physical objects.
Used in a wide variety of
applications where contactless
authentication is desired,
including toll booths, transit
passes, passports, and contactless
entry keys.
RFID tags make it possible for
governments, stores, and hackers
to identify people at a distance
and without their knowledge.
Anywhere an RFID reader is
installed, a person can be
identifiedand the more readers
that are installed, the more
precise that tracking can be

retailer's app (assuming you have
it installed) could display a special

On a visit to a museum, the
museum's app would provide
information about the closest
display
Slap one on your TV remote, bike,
car, or during game of hide and
seek!

 Facial

Detection Recognition

General surveillance in combination with public/private networked video cameras

Doesnt require the knowledge, consent, or participation of the subject.
State DOT possess high-quality photographs of most citizens that are a natural
source for face recognition programs and could easily be combined with public
surveillance or other cameras in the construction of a comprehensive system of
identification and tracking.
Unlike other tracking methods, such as GPS or RFID, facial recognition does not
require the tracked individual to carry any special device or tag, reducing
consumers ability to thwart unwanted tracking.
3 out of 10 stores now use facial recognition to track customer behavior (sex, race,
age and mood and influence your buying!)
FaceFirst customized databases including 8M entries/law enforcement, or
casino database, or airports, or retail, or

Map/Street View: face and license plate blurring technology
Applied for patent for a detector that would blur the image of people on portable camera
displays (incorporate into Google Glass for one)

From Mobile device standpoint

Where does the spying come from?

1 - Mobile OS
Its an evolution thing
iOS, Blackberry historically two of the best
Android on par and with Device OEM (Samsung) even better

2 - Device OEM
3 - Applications
4 - MDM Vendor (Mobile Device Management)
Pay very close attention to your IT/IS POLICIES!
MobileIron recently provided a tool in its MDM (Mobile Device
Management) client app that lets users see what IT is
monitoring on their iOS/Android devices

Beneficial uses, including search-and-rescue missions, AG,

scientific research, mapping, shark protection...
Equipped with facial recognition software, infrared technology, and
speakers capable of monitoring personal conversations...
Tiny drones and drones at high altitudes could go completely
unnoticed while peering into the window of a home or place of
worship and STAY suspended for LONG periods of time!
FAA "recognizes the privacy issues that may be heightened" by
drone surveillance. The FAA also conceded that drones, "because
of their size and capabilities, may enhance privacy concerns," but
the agency has still not begun the process of developing
regulations to safeguard privacy. (Nov. 5, 2015)
FAA expected to issue rules/regs for drones <55 pounds, Q1 2016
