U.S. Intel Chief Admits, "[We] may use the "Internet of Things" to spy on you."

The "Internet of Things" promises consumers convenience in use, convenience in payment, probably even options for discounts. But know this, that if each and everyone of your household appliances is plugged into the internet or the cloud or the world wide web, know that these appliances, your appliances, will be used against you. Sound familiar? Where have you heard that phrase before? By law enforcement and by our vaunted legal system. While some groups [click on that link] have pointed to the health hazards associated with the new smart meters, perhaps these very folks are playing the role of controlled opposition, whereby the arguments that oppose any harmful effects win the day against the whistle blowers tooting the horn about radiation poisoning. And as those points go unfounded or unproven, forgotten or defeated, then people take fewer actions and worry less as they become more complacent, rendering them more malleable to further incursions into prying of one's homes via the "Internet of Things."

There is one woman who warned us early on about the government's role in not only spying on Americans, but to know everything about you . . . without your permission, of course. Dr. Katherine Albrecht, Ed.D., was the first person I'd read about ten years ago now who sounded the alarm on RFID tags. 

Executive Technology Magazine has called Katherine "perhaps the country's single most vocal privacy advocate" and Wired magazine calls her the "Erin Brockovich" of RFID". Her success exposing corporate misdeeds has earned her accolades from Advertising Age and Business Week and caused pundits to label her a PR genius.
