Even worse, silently auto-posting when you leave.

  Many years ago a colleague of mine at the time got stuck in a nuclear power station for a few hours because he tailgated someone into the plant but the systems wouldn't let him out as he appeared never to have entered. Apparently this was surprisingly difficult to remedy. Imagine if your house won't let you in because it doesn't think you have gone out!

    > Many years ago a colleague of mine at the time got stuck in a nuclear power station for a few hours because he tailgated someone into the plant but the systems wouldn't let him out as he appeared never to have entered. how does that work? can't he tailgate someone on the way out? or get the guy at the security desk to let him through? was he the last one out of the plant or something?

    Something like this has happened to me in a parking garage. The garage had a gate that would usually require a card, but if you worked a late shift, then you might get off work just after a concert or other event let out and the gate was left up for everyone to leave. Which meant the next day, it would still think you were in the garage and not want to let you in.

  Ironically, the dynamic has shifted; we've all voluntarily installed microphones all throughout our houses and carry around tracking devices. They have no reason for you to leave and would prefer you stay at home where they can monitor you for any wrongthink you may verbalize. Best part, those people who refuse to bug and track themselves become interesting to additional scrutiny … because they clearly must be up to something.
