A. That the Feds can do this type of thing is kind of scary (deeper implications, unintended consequences, etc.).

B. Thanks to this article, real criminals on the run now know to shut their cell phones off. Brilliant move on the part of this reporter. < /sarcasm >

Thank you! that was where I was going before I wandered off into the fog...

Based on the clients I had the pleasure of working with, they won't get the message. As a whole, the everyday run of the mill guys charged with assault, domestics, robbery, hit and run, etc. that I worked with weren't real big on reading the papers or following current events.

Terrorists (thugs trying to advance a political agenda through violence) change that equation as they tend to be more dialed into the news, but everyday criminals will have to have the cell phone on so they can call their pals and boast about the exploit. It's just part of their makeup.
