Mobile Phone

Approximatly 75% of the UK population own a mobile phone and I have no doubt that that the United States is in a similar situation. Fate there is a fatal flaw for civil liberties.

The Theory
Whenever you make a call or answer a call on your mobile phone, thanks to radio transmissions and satellite information your location can be pin pointed to a few feet. And the authorities just ignore this?

The Evidence

  • In Russia vs. Checknea (sorry for the spelling ;), the Chetchnian leader as taken out when the Cremelin learned his location due to him using his mobile phone
  • DIY spying is now freely available from services - Google brings up many sponsered results
