Ever notice the shiny new door, camera and register systems at Walmart? Wonder if retail is Stingray'ing patrons IMEI's into such databases? See the boxes popping up on roadsides, cameras and antenna arrays on poles and buildings at every intersection? All the pointless info and blood you have to give?
