Imagine that every time you printed a document, it automatically
included a secret code that could be used to identify the printer - and
potentially, the person who used it. Sounds like something from an
episode of "Alias," right?
Unfortunately, the scenario isn't fictional. In a purported effort to
identify counterfeiters, the US government has succeeded in persuading
some color laser printer manufacturers to encode each page with
identifying information. That means that without your knowledge or
consent, an act you assume is private could become public. A
communication tool you're using in everyday life could become a tool
for government surveillance. And what's worse, there are no laws to
prevent abuse.[...]
