I find it curious that allegedly security-oriented folks who at least
sometimes allegedly care about issues like privacy and trackability 
would suddenly decide it's a cool thing to be trackable at a hacker
convention.  I think active electronics in badges at any conference
anywhere is intrusive and unreasonable.

But I guess it's a cute little piece of hardware and that's got
some entertainment value, agreed.
