I'd like to have something to block them ready for that eventuality. I can see all kinds of safety issues involved with this, aside from the privacy issue.

Because we know technology is advancing at such a fast pace, shouldn't something be done now to preempt the invasion of privacy and the danger this presents, before it happens?

Just not thrilled to think some lunatic could find out where you live eg. But money trumps everything, it seems.
