This is such a stupid post, who cares if someone can get your running data for 60ft, by then you are gone and all they have is your pace information for running 120ft.

(Scheduling a burglary anyone?)

For close proximity relation ships like jealous ex's this also constitutes a more realistic hazard. In short I would say that this alone does not really pose a security threat, but used in conjunction with more sinister plans it should very much be viewed as atleast plausible.

Awareness is the key issue though. Being aware of the information leak remove the element of surprise from any exploitation of the device.]]>Apr 29th 2007 7:56AM
