Mobiles used to surveil shoppers..

Times Online: "Customers in shopping centres are having their every move tracked by a new type of surveillance that listens in on the whisperings of their mobile phones.

The technology can tell when people enter a shopping centre, what stores they visit, how long they remain there, and what route they take as they walked around.

The device cannot access personal details about a person’s identity or contacts, but privacy campaigners expressed concern about potential intrusion should the data fall into the wrong hands."


Seems like this would be easy enough to correlate with time-coded surveillance video on premises... Speaking of which, aren't they already doing this with the cameras?
