"In that case, the Obama administration has argued that warrantless
tracking is permitted because Americans enjoy no "reasonable expectation
of privacy" in their--or at least their cell phones'--whereabouts. U.S.
Department of Justice lawyers say that "a customer's Fourth Amendment
rights are not violated when the phone company reveals to the government
its own records" that show where a mobile device placed and received
calls. "

Easy solution: switch off your cellphone when you are not
actively using it. I go for a week or more without
recharging my phone, and while it is off no government can
track my movements. At least that way...


Such outrage. And nary a peep from Tommy when Bush suggested the same exact
thing.
