More domestic spying

I just stumbled across this article on another method of domestic spying. Basically, a small plane flies over a large populated area with a device that pretends to be a cell network tower with a strong signal. Mobile devices by default will try to connect to the strongest signal. Once connected, mobile devices then report their unique registration info which can lead to locating said devices or possibly retrieving data from them.

yeah I read about it this morning. They claim they only focus on the criminals phones, yeah like they know who are criminals in a crowd of people. Hell you know the Feds have 10,000 laws on the books and most everyone has broken at least one of them so we are criminals in the governments eyes.

Wait until they start pulling dick photos from government official phones and see what happens.

If you're not a criminal, why would you think anyone wants to listen to your lame calls.

To add to this conversation, since 9-11, the US postal service photograph ever piece of mail sent to your home. They can trace that mail to the original pick up point in the postal systems and locations it is routed through the postal systems. They share this information with the police and government agencies upon requests. For those getting porno mags they know your pervert.

Not only are the monitoring every call into your home as well as every email you ever sent they know about every piece of mail you have received.

Grant it this is nothing new, they had the ability to monitor mail, but they would have to tell the USPS ahead of time who's mail to monitor and what to monitor for, today they just track it all and the police can come in at any time and look what you been up too.

They're probably sitting on a table at some dentist's office by now.

Probably way more worrisome online than mail... who orders magazines of that type in 2014? BTW, google has an online profile of you, no one has.
