Various agencies have already been tracking people by their cell phone use, so the GPS thing is just a refinement on what law enforcement has already been doing.
Now DHS wants to build a better mousetrap in the form of a "
Federated Information Sharing System." That should be fun. What 4th Amendment?
Quote:
In an effort to enhance DHS’ information sharing capabilities, the department is looking to construct an integrated database known as the “Federated Information Sharing System,” a move which has raised concerns from the American Civil Liberties Union.
Currently data is restricted to individual systems within various DHS components which were created to fulfill specific mission requirements.
