UK is Surveillance Leader
Britain has so many cameras installed in public places that the average citizen is photographed an estimated 300 times daily. Though privacy advocates are against the cameras, they have successfully been used to solve crimes, and may help prevent additional crime, according to authorities. One of the reasons the cameras were originally installed is because of the history of Irish violence in the country. They are becoming more widespread because the software and memory required is increasingly cheap. Camera use is so widespread that they are even being used in schools to show parents when their children misbehave.

Philadelphia Considering Making Entire City Wireless
The city of Philadelphia is considering putting transmitters on public lampposts to bring wireless Internet access to all of the city's 135 square miles. Anyone in the city could dial in and pay a minimal fee from any street corner or front porch. Other cities are considering similar moves; in New York City the government is in negotiations to sell lamppost space to wireless carriers for more than 20 million dollars.

Cell Phones May Soon Be Allowed on Airplanes
A technology that prevents interference between cell phone signals and airplane navigation systems may help bring personal cell phone use to America's airlines. A small receiver installed in an airplane's cabin can pick up cell phone signals and transmit them to the appropriate tower or satellite. Preliminary tests have been successful, though the FAA wants to test the technology on planes made by all manufacturers. The next problem to solve is the social implication of people yelling into cell phones while others try to sleep.

Iris Readers Becoming More Widespread
Iris recognition is being used to identify parents who pick up their children after school and to identify parents and their newborns at hospitals. Though the cameras are still too expensive for many organizations, the makers of the technology believe it will be a mainstream form of identification within the next eight to ten years.

Text Spammer Barred from Sending More Messages
Verizon Wireless won a case against Rhode Island resident Jacob Brown, who is accused of spamming Verizon customers with text messages. Verizon has filed several such suits in the past year, and promises customers they won't be charged for unwanted text messages. The FCC has voted to outlaw spam on mobile devices but says text messages don't fall under the ban.

New Software to Allow Spoofing of Caller ID Phone Numbers
A startup company has created a software to put phony phone numbers on someone's caller ID when you call them, tricking them into answering the phone. The company says it will sell its product solely to the police, other investigators, and collection agents. The largest concern of security experts is the tool getting into the hands of credit agencies, who have been known to use unethical measures of collecting.
