As a near-local, I see the Venetian problem (as the article explains): day trippers are destroying the place, without contributing. Even the low US phones registered are probably from the two bases nearby, and some that aren't. If you exclude Venice for the tracking aspect, then stay out of malls, watch it in airports and add in the UK and a bazillion cameras. I went to Venice one time, I didn't really enjoy it as I got caught in the evening rush to gtfo. As a lot of persons have already given their privacy away, adding in the ability for the local cops to maybe* block an avenue or two, and open others to ease studied congestion patterns may not be a bad idea.
