But according to the left, these people can be trusted to do no wrong. Why else would they ask us to voluntarily turn in our firearms?

Thanks 0bama.

This wasn't the change we believed in.

Yeah, it was the left, all by its lonesome, who passed the Patriot Act.  Thank God for those conservative patriots at the ACLU for cluing us in on this.

Seriously, what color is the sky in your world?

NDAA
Obama signed it

maxalt: so the movie The Presidents Analyst was right we do need to fear the phone company.

FTFA:   Law enforcement is more and more deploying International Mobile Subscriber Identity locators that masquerade as cell towers and enable government agents to suck down data from thousands of subscribers

If a person possesses neither cell phone nor credit card in this day and age, how "invisible" is he?

Which is why I wanted Senator Feingold, the ONLY ONE who voted against the Patriot act, to run for President.

Yes. And Johnny Fever was right to be afraid of the phone cops.

You're changing the subject to minimize the disingenuousness of complaints about federal surveillance laws. The left had it's chance after concern trolling for 8 years of Bush 43 about civil freedoms. They dropped the ball, reauthorized about all of Bush's domestic stuff and haven't made a peep about it.

What the left is defending today is what they said was indefensible a few years back.

It has nothing to do with the issues.

The left just didn't like Bush because he is white.

Besides this, the last is the Bush tax cuts are evil, oh wait, once 0bama renewed them it is all "oh, please don't take them away from everyone, it would hurt them and the economy."

grinding_journalist: Hey NSA, I don't mind if you read what I write, but how about a job? I know I can't beat you. I have some pretty good ideas about how terrorists could bring this country to its knees.

NSA doesn't care about that. That's for other agencies.

What the data will look like to law enforcement:


What the tin foil hat people will think it looks like:


What the analysts will claim they've seen:


If you heard from the paranoia people in the 70's that government was planning to put tracking devices on everyone and one upped them by saying people would pay for the privilege one day you'd be considered strange.

I hope the NSA finds my frequent trips to strip clubs and porn surfing worth the time and effort it took to track.

Something else you don't know about those "smart phones:

1. The contract is $1700 minimum;

2. They want an automatic suction pump on your credit card, you pay whether you get service or not;

3. They have the "right" to add charges whenever they want;

4. You can't escape for less than $350 if you want out.

BOTTOM LINE: The phones may be smart, but the buyers sure as hell aren't!

I bought mine for $9.88 cash at Wal-Mart, card was $22 for 90 days. THAT is a smart phone.

Huck And Molly Ziegler: If a person possesses neither cell phone nor credit card in this day and age, how "invisible" is he?

VERY invisible. I lived like that for 25+ years, then went "off the grid" and wireless, had no trouble getting $40,000 worth of credit cards just by asking for them, and I am totally wireless now. Phone is in cash, I do all my money business on the Innertubes, and I might be in New York or Timbuktu for all anyone knows.

You can always be invisible, but as society advances, it takes more skill.

Meh. Too much data for them to sift through for me to give much of a crap.

"Reason.com"

Yup, just more of your run-of-the mill tinfoil nonsense. Seriously, you're not special, and the government doesn't give a single shiat about what kind of porn you watch when you're one out of hundreds of millions.

I know that people say it sarcastically, but it's true: if you have nothing (illegal) to hide, you have nothing to fear.

super_grass: "Reason.com"

Fark is down to about 1 in 30 links I'm willing to click on these days. I picture drew as this weirdo drinking malt liquor on his porch with a long double barrel.

I must be even more suspicious..I don't have a cell phone..Much less a smarty pants phone..

I don't own a cell phone but I do have a landline. Sucks to be you NSA cause when the modem goes off so does the phone.
/Mind you if Time Warner isn't watching anyways.

Good luck finding me through my cell phone. Pay as you go, no name attached. I'm waiting for the gov to change the rules on this though.

funny mine is anonymous
good luck with anything legal

And here is the source of the problem. People who believe that the government never accuses anyone of a crime for any but the purest motives.

Never fails to amaze me.

Can it be turned off?

I have that app that lets me spy on all my friends. It came installed on the phone, which was kind of creepy. I could track them if I wanted to. I don't use it because I have better things to do than wonder who's in the grocery store right now. Can't be de-installed. I've tried. Its the AT&T family map and social net.

And I don't actually care if anyone knows where I am. I never go anywhere exciting. I'd actually feel sorry for anyone assigned to spy on me. They'd be so bored.

If I was up to no good, I'm smart enough not to take the phone. I don't have OnStar in the car. So I can lose people.

I could always get a burner phone if I wanted a life of crime, but seriously, can it be turned off?

When I joined the AF is 2007 I was 20. I didn't have a cell phone and didn't care to have a job prior to then. Problems arose in tech school when I had to get my security clearance. I was for the most part a ghost in school and after I graduated I cut off all communication from my friends, friends didn't know if I had died or what until I came home in 2010. Didn't get on social networks or anything. I was also a ghost in the classroom and talked very little. The only recent thing they had on me was that I graduated in 2004 and I was now enlisted in the AF. A 3 year gap where I did not exist and they had to take my parents' word for it that I actually lived at home during this gap in time. There are plenty of manual labor//odd jobs that you can get where you get paid under the table so it should still be easy to stay off the grid. If you want internet it is easy to hop on a open network or crack a wep network.

/Currently live 40 miles away from any record of my residence
//No bills in my name

I was one of those retards who voted for Obama thinking "Hope and Change" would mean the repealing of the PATRIOT Act. Instead he signed a four year extension.


To answer your question: Orange, like my Guantanamo jumpsuit.

well aint somebody going to post this is like a long running Elephants turd?

This will all be fine and dandy until another Chanda Levy scandal hits and Congressmen find out the FBI is tracking them too.

I am surprised the Petreaus scandal has not put a stop to FBI email snooping.

Some day people on the left and right will realize that the Republican and Democrat party have been working together for decades. All the screaming about how much they are opposite in every way goes a long way toward making people ignore the ways they are the same.

You should be afraid of the things the Republicans and Democrats agree on. They both want power, influence, and money. They both are willing to do ANYTHING to get it.

All the partisan shouting at each end of the spectrum is only designed to keep people distracted by the issues which there will never be compromise (gay rights/marriage, abortion, immigration, etc). It works very well. The average person has no idea how much they are being screwed over at ever level of government.

Flint Ironstag: Tenatra: Good luck finding me through my cell phone. Pay as you go, no name attached. I'm waiting for the gov to change the rules on this though.

If they really cared they could look at where the phone was every night and find out your address. Where it was most days from nine to five will be where you work, the numbers called from and to that phone will be your family and friends and so on. That's without downloading software that turns your phone into a bug that transmits everything it hears 24/7 to them....

Eh. you can pull the battery and screw that up.

my demylinating nerves got my body in pain and spinal denigration i think my lungs have stopped working....and..

I rarely use my phone as it is, to the point that if I want to make a call it is already dead. I have 3 numbers in my phone. Mom, Dad, and Fiancee. Bills here are under the fiancee's name without my name attached. If someone wanted to find me they would probably start at my parents house since that is where I "reside". They would know what town I actually live in because of my debit card. I don't work, I go to school online and get paid to go. It's not that I'm trying to hide thinking they want something from me, I just avoid people. They will be able to have me on the radar again Fall 2013 when I finish my degree at a university and afterwards when I apply with the FBI. I'll probably face some of the same problems with getting my security clearance again but I've already working in the comm-intel field.

worked

Yeah ... so?

If private business did this, reason.com would celebrate them as visionary.
