A company called X10 Wireless Technology is marketing its tiny color video cameras for their use in keeping an eye on your kids or even engaging in voyeuristic activity. One ad for the $79.99 device displays a bare-backed woman and the headline "Quit Spying on People! (we never told you to do that)." The technology uses radio frequencies for communication among devices within a 100-foot radius, and represents a development that one attorney says "is outstripping everything we once contemplated about privacy." X10 devices have been found planted secretly in such places as college shower rooms, attorneys' offices, and corporate meeting rooms.
