Dutch broadcaster tracks carrier-group frigate with Bluetooth gadget

Omroep Gelderland tracked the Royal Netherlands Navy frigate Evertsen using a Bluetooth tracker sent via military mail. Discovered during mail sorting, the tracker allowed real-time location tracking for 24 hours. In response, the Dutch Ministry of Defence has restricted sending greeting cards with batteries and will review military mail guidelines to enhance security protocols.
