I think a good framework of thinking about these sorts of problems is the classis AI confusion matrix (here is a good reference:http://www2.cs.uregina.ca/~hamilton/courses/831/notes/ confusion_matrix/confusion_matrix.html). Really, the problem we have is a variant of classification, perhaps best looked at two levels:
1) There is a problem (or not) and
2) The problem is of X sort
SO, back to the confusion matrix:
There are 4 cases:
1) Situation is identified as a problem when it is a problem
2) Situation is identified as a problem when it is NOT a problem
3) Situation is identified as NOT a problem when it is NOT a problem
4) Situation is identified as NOT a problem when it is a problem
It is useful because now we have a body of theoretical thought and analysis tools to use. Of course case 1 and 3 are good because we can just do what is appropriate. Case 2 causes embarrassment, deployment of resources un-necessarily, and 'crying wolf' type long-term consequences (a good model for this is the proliferation of home alarm systems and the consequent problems with inadvertently triggering police help). Case 4 is the biggest one, because here we have a person in trouble and we are partially directly responsible for them being so.

I just saw a short bit on the Today show today about a middle school which has students wearing RFID tags on badges so that their comings and goings in class could be recorded. However the project had to be put on hold because of parent concerns about privacy and people outside the school tracking their children. I Iooked on the Today website bud didn't find any links at this time. Keep your eyes open for it.

Walmart's plans to implement RFID are way behind schedule and they are now saying that they will only be able to implement RFID in a limited way.
Some of the problems include high manufacturing costs, and more importantly, an inability to read the RFID tags. Their reliability rate in stores is at about 60%.

With so much controversy swirling around the upcoming movie "Assisted Living," the filmmakers have launched this email campaign in order to provide some perspective for health-care professionals.
The film has recently been taken to task by certain individuals within the elder care community for, they say, negatively portraying care givers and presenting a cold, unsympathetic view of assisted living. We adamantly disagree with these assessments.
First, the film is not a documentary and does not presume to represent any part of the healthcare industry. In fact, the fictional locale in which virtually all of the film takes place was shot in 5 different care facilities of various classifications. Simply put, "Assisted Living" is the story of a young man's brief yet tender relationship with an elderly resident who happens to reside in an assisted living facility. No more, no less. And although the lead character, the facility's hapless janitor, takes a unique approach to his work at times, his actions always come with the best of intentions and a kind heart. In other words, he's human.
Please take a look at the preview http://www.assistedlivingthemovie.com/Trailer.htm and a behind-the-scenes interview with the director http://www.assistedlivingthemovie.com/BehindScenes.htm in which he speaks about his experiences working with the elderly actors in the film - nearly all of whom were actual residents of one of the primary facilities in which the film was shot.
Decide for yourself whether "Assisted Living" is a unflattering portrayal of an industry, or a rare opportunity to address the increasingly urgent and complex issues involving aging in America.
Very best regards,
John Case, The Summerkamp Group
