Recently, I went to the gym after a long hiatus (called the holidays) and found they had installed turnstiles because, evidently, people were stealing health.
I discovered that they had altered their process of checking in from a card-based system that they scanned with a barcode reader into one where you key in a phone number, put your finger on the sensor and they let you through the man-gates.
Well, I'm not 100% sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, who cares? I believe in Brin's Transparent Society. But on the other hand, the first keeper of the electronic version of my fingerprint shouldn't be my gym.
I will continue to feel unease. Hopefully they're not in bed with the FBI or CIA. Not that I've done anything wrong...
