you can run BUT...

Now just wait until this gets mainstreamed/hacked to the point where it's on the street.

Then life will sure be a b(tch for the rest of us.

You can’t erase the evidence of what you are doing, how it works, what it captured and then deliver the results for discovery.

You have to present the entire chain or it’s invalid.

Now, I’ll go read the article.

OnStar.
Cell phone triangulation during calls.
Cell phone triangulation when not on active call.

All can be used to track you.

Now.... are our politicians/lawmakers concerned about the tracking of the average JOE ?

NO. What they are really worried about is whether THEY can be tracked when they go to Madam DeFarge’s House of Ill-Repute.

Or, it could be one of the best selling devices on the market.

I can't count the number of times my friends have LOST their cell phone, or had it stolen (even by supposed 'friends').

How nice to be able to quickly recover your lost phone.

You're being facetious, right? Cause if not, I'm going to nominate that for the Myopic Post of the New Millenium Award.

Just turning it off won’t work?

Ever try to take a battery out of an iPhone or Android or other modern smart phone? The covers don’t just slide off like older (>one year) phones.

Stingray actually works with the battery removed. A focused microwave beam powers the phone briefly and then Stingray does it's job.

A focused microwave beam ...

You have to know where the phone is to focus a beam ...

Simple. Just beam a beam right near the suspect's hip.

I find I have to do this with the company Blackberry I have. Often times, it will come back on for no apparent reason. I have to physically take out the battery to be sure that it’s off.
