From the slashdot article :
Ars Technica report covering the release of documents obtained under the FOIA suggesting that the Justice Department may have been evading privacy laws in their use of "triggerfish" technology. Triggerfish are cell-tower spoofing devices that induce cell phones to give up their location and other identifying information, without recourse to any cell carrier.
ahh... the "patriot act"
you no longer have any rights in this country...

I am sure this has been happening for a long time. Don't do anything illegal and you have nothing to worry about.
Yeah, but who's defining "Illegal". What was Slick Willy's line in the trial in Arkansas? "That depends on what what means."?

If you're not a terrorist pig, they don't want you in the way of their terrorist investigations.
Again, who's defining 'terrorist pig'.
John C.

2. a person who terrorizes or frightens others.
3. (formerly) a member of a political group in Russia aiming at the demoralization of the government by terror.
4. an agent or partisan of the revolutionary tribunal during the Reign of Terror in France.

We're really straying from the posting guidlines for this category. What's being discussed really belongs in the Phone Booth.
Come one Bill,
We are just having a little fun big fella....
Yes we are straying, however,..
It's all baby steps people, today we have nothing to worry about unless we are calling suspect areas over seas. Maybe a little more next year. Ten years from now, every call. We will not even know when it happened, it will just be that way.
I'm locking this, as it seems no one has anything to post about the topic at hand.
