When I first read this, I was like "Screw that!" but now I've thought about it more, and many of us have done similar for years. I've worked for numerous Fortune 500 companies that require you scan a badge when you enter or leave through security when coming to or leaving the building. That's essentially what this app is doing. As the article says, it doesn't actually track them within the building. If you have to scan your badge at multiple doors, your workplace is already more aware of where you're locate
No one claimed that. I only said that you're making all kinds of assumptions. The biggest is that I haven't seen you question and refuse to use a security badge at work. That thing could track your location and you don't know how secure it is! You're on Slashdot, which uses Google Analytics, which is capturing your IP address and other information about you and selling it to advertisers. Why aren't you worried about all that with your tinfoil hat?
The cost of living is going up, and the chance of living is going down.

This article says nothing more than it reports when she enters the geo zone and when she enters. No more. Anything else is simply conjecture.
You must be the biggest fool I've ever heard of. "Oh, the company says it's totally secure and fine. It must be!"
