WASHINGTON - A Pentagon project to develop a digital super diary that records heartbeats, travel, Internet chats, everything a person does, also could provide private companies with powerful software to analyze behavior.
That has privacy experts worried.

Actually, what I find the most interesting is that "privacy experts" even exist.

That's actually a very scary concept, if nothing else for the abuses that are inherent.

Besides, wouldn't the knowledge that you were always being monitored change your behavior?

What I'm wondering is how they would be able to implement this device without making the person look really stupid. Also, if you don't like it, don't use it. As long as it's voluntary there's no harm in it. But, I agree it's a bad idea.
