Not far off with that. Mobile phone profiling with word recognition has already been proposed and GPS tracking is already being trialled and it's been used to spot peoples shopping habits for a "study".
Cars are being tracked when they move around cities and RFID tags are already being built-in to some purchases to track the movements of purchasers.
One company has developed an RFID so small that thousands of them can be sprayed onto a car mixed in with the normal paint so that the car can be tracked.
As you might expect, all of these modern wonders are being promoted as safety and security enhancing.
