no place to hide

No Place To Hide is a multimedia investigation by news organizations, such as Center for Investigative Reporting, working together across print and broadcast platforms, to make a greater impact than any one organization could alone.


No place to hide is a book by Robert O'Harrow, Jr. There is the final chapter of No Place to Hide, by Robert O'Harrow, Jr., published by Free Press, a division of Simon & Schuster.

In this book you can see how companys like Acxiom, Seisint, ChoicePoint, HNC Software, TransCore, Searchspace, and Verint work with technology and privacy.

A firm called SAMSys Technologies, meanwhile, uses the tags to create an all-purpose surveillance tool for amusement parks called the SafeTzone System. Everybody at the park would get a SafeTzone Locator, a watch-size tracker. Parents could use it to find their kids on an electronic map, buy goodies for them without pulling out their wallets, and cut down on waiting times for rides. They bill it as a combination of gee-whiz and surveillance, in one tiny package. "The SafeTzone System is making the entertainment park experience more enjoyable and less frustrating for families and groups."
"No place to hide" by R.O'Harrow
