On The Media: "Tracking Us All"

The cell phone that you’re carrying doubles as a tracking device. That’s right, Verizon has a record of where you've been and now the government is seeking explicit permission from the courts to access those records without probable cause. Electronic Frontier Foundation attorney Kevin Bankston explains.

It made sense for phones to be connected to people, not to houses. Now, we realize that through our phones, our pesonal location is public knowledge like our house's address. Perhaps we reconsider our movements and adjust. At this point, I don't mind people knowing where I am, altho I can imagine situations where I might want to hide (like Sadaam in a spideyhole). When that happens, I guess I leave my phone behind.
