That is so creepy and I love it! lol!

"They" are watching you - Whatever you do, DON'T click here!

[Lmo56]

Can you hear me now ???

[goat granny]

If anyone is dumb enough to listen to my cell phone calls they should get a life...

Exactly- just how much info does "Honey, help me get the old dog back in the house" convey?

All the Souper Seekret work I've done is right here- where anyone can search it.

We also have religion, but that might not help us out with surveillance, either.

I used to work in the cell phone industry. We used to do it all the time. Saturdays near the big malls were the most fun.
Husbands and wives on their cell phones having fights over the stupidest things.

Some chat-rooms I’ve dropped that into have gone spastic until they understand what it’s really doing. LOL

You can run, but you can’t hide. Everywhere you go, there you are!

You would think the phone companies could block the functionality of spy apps if they wanted to.

We have the technology for secure encrypted cell phone calls. It was blocked first by Bush I and killed dead for all practical purposes by impeached ex-President Clinton's minions Freeh and Reno.

"War on (some) Drug" warriors can look in the mirror to see who is really to blame.

The Fed.gov “judges” have already ruled that there is legally NO expectation of privacy on wireless devices, though.

Weasel words at best.

That means use a LAND LINE!

What makes you think those are any better? It's not as if you actually need to physically touch a land line to tap phone conversations going across.

The 2nd[1] and 4th amendments are sadly flawed - they don't go far enough. They needed to include secure communications. Unfortunately, the Founding Fathers did not anticipate technology very well.

[1] In case people have forgotten, encryption technology that could have made cell phones private was ruled to be a munition in the early 1990s.

Maybe you want to make a libertarian ping on this one. We discussed the root cause of this when it was happening on the Cypherpunks mailing list a decade and a half ago.

No.

Not over the air anyway. (This isn't 1993 where most al the networks are using AMPS (Advances Mobile Phone System) technology) which used analog FM on 30 kHz channels that a Radio Shack scanner could pick up. Today's networks ARE digital and threfore over the air encryption capable)

Maybe logged into the switch though, that's a different story. You can also 'track' the phone as it moves/re-registers on different cell sites while on a drive ...

Interesting vid. If privately obtainable software can do this, just imagine what the Gubermint or an over-zealous LEO can do, and probably are on a large scale.

It’s how dems caught Newt’s conversation years ago... Dems are as dirty as ACORN ...

[Clinging Bitterly]

Yes but digital and encrypted are two different things. Casual OTA monitoring is difficult but if an entity is sufficiently determined and financed it is possible.

Of course those entities are usually governments and the telcos just roll over and give them the processed data so OTA monitoring isn't necessary.

[Clinging Bitterly]

I have a BC200 that was built before the cell block laws went into full effect. It had what I'll call a courtesy block, which was easily removed. But really what one found on the old analog cell band was just boring IMHO.

Nowadays any spooks looking for real dirt get it straight from the system, and Joe blow doesn't ever get the excitement of happening upon his Congressman's dalliances.

Yup. The crypto isn't really all that tough. These days, with modern processor power, you don't even need to have a static private key. (though they would be useful for authentication and to avoid MITM attacks). 

Thanks to all the republican and democrat nanny-staters for making sure we have no privacy from big brother or anyone else.

This stuff should be built into every phone and enabled by default.

Holy sh1t!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey wait a minute, acorn are dems, or is it Acorn is dem. ;-]

I wonder if I can make it work too?

[Nik Naym]

Obviously not! LOL
