Many people like using the internet to find out if there are any sex offenders living nearby. States make the info publicly available on the internet so its pretty easy to find.
What about when you are traveling or in a different neighborhood? Well, the new iPhone app called Offender Locator can help you out. It uses the GPS info from the iPhone to look up offenders near wherever you happen to be. You get a little map with the google marks showing where all the sex offenders are around you.
This app has already made the top 10 in the app store. Now I know what to do to make money...write apps the show people all the awful things around them. Maybe the Superfund sites so they can avoid chemicals, program the iPhone to beep if you drive up to an intersection with a high accident rate, etc. My goal is to make your iPhone beep so much you are constantly paralyzed with fear (evil laugh!)

Seems a little obsessive to me, but I don't travel and I'm not a woman nor do I have kids.
Right after reading this blog, I looked up the ones around me. Nothing much has changed.
Seems excessive to me to and I'm a woman who has kids. If you read all the news, follow all the sex offenders, constantly listen to the scanners... you will never go out. While you can't wear blinders, you can't live your life in fear either.
