School uniforms track kids
http://news.com.com/8301-10784_3-9764275-7.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=NewsBlog

An English manufacturer of uniforms is considering adding satellite tracking devices to its line of school clothing so that parents can locate their child's whereabouts at all times, according to an article from the Daily Telegraph in Australia. The manufacturer, Lancashire-based Trutex, believes there is a demand for such clothing. In a recent survey of its own, the company found that 59 percent of 800 parents surveyed were interested in buying uniforms with embedded Global Positioning Systems.

1. The parents might be going for it but
how long do you think it will take a kid to figure out how to disable it?

4. I was thinking turn it inside out, so you don't leave marks,
and run over it back and forth with a car.

B-)
