On his Fox News show, host Glenn Beck warned that the government's Cars.gov website allows for tracking of your computer activity. Part of the website says "This application provides access to the DoT CARS system. When logged on to the CARS system, your computer is considered a Federal computer system and is the property of the U.S. Government." You can go on and read the rest of the fine print if you'd like, but you do so at your own risk.

If you'd just like to see what Glenn Beck had to say about the website, check out the video below from YouTube. Is it a legitimate concern or just a talk show host overreacting for ratings? You decide. However, before you completely dismiss this, you might want to read this article about being able to track you on your cell phone to within a few feet. Technology is great, but in the wrong hands, it can lead to a serious breach of privacy.
