I arrived in Seattle yesterday, bought something called an Orca card at the airport vending machine. Charged $20 to a VISA card. Took the light rail to town. And went to Bellevue to visit a Microsoft employee, then up to Lake City to have dinner with a friend, etc, etc,
Midday today it was already out of money, so I thought, NO WAY?
Went to the window at the Transit Tunnel downtown, asked for them to check it and he gave me a list of WHERE I bought the card, WHERE I got either on or off each ride, and TIMES. Then I happened to notice that the screen appeared to have photos of me buying the card. I tried to look and he quickly blanked his screen.
Is it possible that we are being closely tracked and photographed?
Interesting to imagine how that could be used.
