There have been tons of attempts to track users of a website, a facility or just walking on the street. Those to device such trackers always claims it's for the benifit (security) of the person being tracked.
Whether or not such claim holds true, the user almost always refuse the favor of "being tracked".
Why?
I think deep down our heart, we don't trust that every moment of our life can withstand the detailed scrutiny of an omniscience tracker. There are plenty of chances to be misunderstood and misinterpreted in life, and we don't need more of them behind the dark hidden machines. Be it a camera, a browser cookie, a keyboard logger or a search history analyzer, however good the intention of the tracker was.
