Too many passwords? One login? Sounds like tracking to me.

If they do not care that people know they're not home and come steal all their "stuff" that proves they are really not bright. What is the huge benefit of telling someone you landed somewhere? YES people ARE being robbed because they publicly post when they're away from home and YES people are being stalked because they obviously do not have any idea of the dangers of "checking in" everywhere they go.

I would like to believe that this has our security at heart but it sounds to me as if they want to verify idenities of internet users for other uses, namely spying. the US track record on human rights abuses through spy agencies doesnt really give me confidence in their modus operandi.

if NIST was really wanting to secure the internet it would have recommended that the global DNS system should have been passed into international organisations control in 2005... but we know what happened.
