A visitor to the US Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year reported that a number of booth personnel were wearing cameras on their chests that recorded video & audio of every person they talked to the entire day. The cameras had enough quality to pick up the names on the badges of the people they talked with. According to one booth occupant, the camera allowed him to focus on talking with the person and not wasting time getting his/her badge information.
Will we see this trend at security exhibitions? Will we even be able to detect the tiny buttonhole cameras? Should we lobby organisers of security exhibitions not to allow this potential threat to confidentiality?
