Other data can be used to identify individual devices which, when tied to the known movements and appearances of public figures, should be enough to identify individuals.

Within weeks we&amp;#x27;ll know which senators are reading which bills while they commute, and which don&amp;#x27;t.&lt;p&gt;To go the next step, govtrack could adopt some proper 
ad-based cookies to track users across multiple sites.  But that would cost money.  I&amp;#x27;m surprised Larry Flint, and anyone else looking for dirt on politicians, haven&amp;#x27;t done this already.</text></comment>
