You can run... but can you hide?

Is Britain on its way to becoming a surveillance society. Or has it already arrived? Reporter Simon Boazman investigates how much information is held on him, whether it's secure and if he can reduce his data trail. Crossing the UK, he learns how his mobile, his laptop and his car give up his secrets, how his hospital records are not completely confidential and even his child is about to become a number on a government database.
