If I am ever wanted I am going to turn my cell phone on and tape it to the underside of a truck heading cross-country.

A buddy of mine worked on a program immediately after 9-11 to help locate the cell-phones and pagers at the Twin-towers site. It's amazing how close those guys can get with the information off of the switch and RBSs.

[smiles] They'll get you when you log in to FR! (Think you'll be able to stay off just because the Feds are after you?!)

I'll just create a new identity.

I don't know if you have read this kid's letter, but he apparantly has achieved total conciousness, conquered death and greed, and devised a plan to help save the rest of us. I mean, by all accounts, he's a real whiz. I am surprised he slipped up like this. It confuses me. I don't know what to think.

May I suggest "Kodney Ring" that way we'll know it's you and be able to give you the big wink? ;o)

Cell phone triangulation is a well-known tracking method within the wireless industry, said Michael Barker, an equipment sales manager for Cell-Loc, based in Calgary, Alberta. His company provides tracking services to help people who are incapacitated and unable to dial for help.

And do they need a warrant first, before they do this? Please tell me they at least need that.

"My kingdom for a cell phone, my kingdom for a cell phone!" A 21st century Richard III let down by a wrong call at the wrong time at the wrong place.

I was thinking maybe Mike Tyson, or that basketball player who just shot his limo driver in New Jersey.

On Batman yesterday, when the Penguin escaped from prison and wanted to open an umbrella factory,
he fooled the police by using the fake name of: Mr. K. G. Byrd (Batman, of course, figured it out.)

There was a thread about this cell phone trace technique a few months ago here on FR. That method is how they found Pablo Ecobar in Columbia.

10-4...will keep my eyes peeled.

YIKES!!! I'm doomed...

On Batman yesterday, ...

Great show.

He should demand his tuition money be refunded from the University of Wisconsin. From all accounts so far, this has been one very dumb fella.

[shadowman99]

There's nothing surprising here. The next gen cell phones are going to have GPS built in.

Next time my wife calls from the highway without a clue where she is, I'll tell her to call the FBI and ask for her position. Better yet, I will put it on her speed dial.

It is funny how when he was caught he was worried about his own safety. I guess he wasn't really committed to his belief system.

It's a complicated system. I couldn't really get the hang of it.
