Parents already have a way to monitor kids’ phone calls and text messages, and soon they might have the means to track children wearing school uniforms.
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.

You know…any halfway smart kid is going to find a way around this…the really smart kids are going to have fun with it. They didn’t have cool stuff like this to reverse engineer back when I was in school…kids are so lucky these days.
