Location Tracking and Biometrics conference: Roundup of Grits posts

Thanks to readers who donated for Grits to attend the March 3 conference on Location Tracking and Biometrics at the Yale Law School and especially to the Texas Civil Rights Project for a particularly generous contribution. It took two weeks, but today I finally finished the last two posts summarizing my notes from panels at the conference. Here they are all in one place for easy reference:

• Cell phone tracking by government: How it's done
• On the Fourth Amendment implications of location tracking
• Secrecy and federal court dockets: On the nuts and bolts of authorizing government surveillance
• Bypassing the telecoms: 'Stingrays' allow direct government phone surveillance with little oversight 
• Biometrics and profiling: The door to the phone booth is now open
• Debating Drones: Final panel from Yale Law School conference 
• Video, resources from location tracking conference
