Kim Beckmann-Moegenburg brought this suspected terrorist to UWM last month. I was unable to attend, but the work sounds fascinating-getting naked in front of the FBI with your data body.
The following description is from Mike Salmond's report of the New Media Caucus panel from Siggraph four months back:
Hasan Elahi of Rutgers University presented his on-going project ‘Tracking Transience’. Elahi was once under investigation by the FBI as a suspected terrorist, based purely on his ethnicity and travel habits. As such Elahi now voluntarily records his daily routines via the web, phone and GPS systems; effectively ‘self tracking’ himself as an information weapon against the United States government http://elahi.rutgers.edu/track/
