Marcus Einfeld's court case last month provided irrefutable proof that nobody is ever alone in a big city any more. Charged with 13 offences relating to traffic infringements, the former Federal Court judge was committed to trial after leaving a spoor of credit card, mobile phone and bridge toll transactions and closed-circuit television appearances that a bloodhound with a head cold would have had no difficulty following. But the tracking of Einfeld only reveals the tip of the iceberg of security and surveillance technology piggybacking on living in modern society.
