"Even worse, it shows how the government and private industry make
backroom deals to weaken our privacy by compromising everyday
equipment like printers. The logical next question is: what other
deals have been or are being made to ensure that our technology rats

Simple answer Karl:   images from digital cameras already contain such
uniquely identifiable information that is not user-editable.  his of
course is solely to preserve the rights of the original photographer
(and to be able to prove the authenticity of the image).  In the old
days all you needed was a hex editor to view this "secret"
information. Now it's encrypted and YOU have absolutely NO rights to
know what's contained in it.
