X10 Cameras Used for Voyeurism

X10 cameras, tiny surveillance devices that can be monitored remotely, increasingly are being used by voyeurs to spy on people. The company employs irresponsible advertising that suggests that the cameras can be used to spy on women. One ad pictures the bare back of a woman and reads, �Quit spying on people! (we never told you to do that).� The cameras have been found in college shower rooms, attorneys� offices, and corporate offices.
