Re geo tagging: Are you thinking of camera phones? I could understand that—because the phone’s GPS could be operating. But, I haven’t seen it on pics, myself.
To: Pearls Before Swine
A lot of times it appears on the “properties” of the image - not the image itself.
Cash and valuables are one thing - but people post pics of their CHILDREN - and the NAMES of their children - and a handy dandy GPS location of those children that some perv might be looking at and fantasizing about - and considering dropping in and calling your child by name.
Also the back of the car people symbols are fine - but do NOT put the names on there.
How many 10 year olds called by name and told the name of their mother would resist being taken off?
“Charley and Dean - your mom Mary told me to come pick you up; hop in the van.”

The whole Facebook concept flys in the face of everything I ever learned about navigating the net back in the 90s. Pseudo screen names on message boards and/or chat rooms and NEVER disclose your real name, address etc. Seems like Facebook is an affront to all that and people unwary pay the price. Ditto the "cloud" - which is really only setting up a slaved terminal to a remote database. Remember the Mac commercial fighting big brother? Now Apple is promoting what? iCloud.
The only real clouds are in people's minds.

There's a lot more information that can be stored in the picture than what you're seeing.
EXIF wiki
I normally run Ubuntu at home so I can't provide you with any examples under Windows of how to access the data a picture may contain.

I don’t think the photograph is related to the story. I don’t think there’s a lot of truth connected to the story either...

Very little NEED to defend yourself in Australia.
THINK about that.

Also the people whose answering machine message is, “Hi, you’ve reached Mary, Joe, Junior, and Sally. We’re not in right now...” Don’t include your name(s) in your answering machine message!

Here's a link to a geotagged photo. If you download it and open it to read the exif data, the gps is embedded in the file information. You should be able to look at the information in Bridge or Photoshop.
Here is a link to the exif data of that photo from an online source.

There are some higher-end standard digital cameras that geotag, but you’re right it’s primarily cameras in cell phones that offend. But that’s the camera most folks (especially kids) have available at almost all times.
