The individual says it was to help with security. We debate the level of BS in that statement.<\/p>\n<p>Next, it\u2019s back to the United Kingdom, where a commission has said people should not have to give up all of their personal data just to buy a beer at a pub. Ahmed and I had some trouble grasping that issue, so Dave filled us in on this UK peculiarity.<\/p>\n<p>In our next story, T-Mobile investigates an alleged data breach affecting more than 100 million users.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we discuss a city in Louisiana that is using garbage trucks and Raspberry Pi units to help determine which areas are current dark spots for high-speed Internet connectivity.<\/p>\n<p>If you liked what you heard, please consider subscribing and sharing with your friends.
