    From abcnews.com

    "Cell phone users, beware. The FBI can listen to everything you say, even when the cell phone is turned off.

    A recent court ruling in a case against the Genovese crime family revealed that the FBI has the ability from a remote location to activate a cell phone and turn its microphone into a listening device that transmits to an FBI listening post, a method known as a "roving bug." Experts say the only way to defeat it is to remove the cell phone battery.

    "The FBI can access cell phones and modify them remotely without ever having to physically handle them," James Atkinson, a counterintelligence security consultant, told ABC News. "Any recently manufactured cell phone has a built-in tracking device, which can allow eavesdroppers to pinpoint someone's location to within just a few feet," he added."

    So don't sell drugs, be a thief, or be a religous fanatic, and don't worry about it. The only ones who worry about being overheard are the ones who are are up to no good.

    Bullshit. The FBI can listen to anybody they want, without a warrant, with the excuse of anti-terrorism.

    Yeah, that's total fucking bullshit. And I don't buy a single shit-ounce of that 'Don't worry if you've got nothing to hide' line. NONE of that has shit on our rights,

    The OnStar system that is used in certain cars has a similar problem.

    people have differing opinions on what is "no good" promethius. selling herb is in no way up to no good. the government should use its money and power to fix shit, not fuck with peoples personal lives

    ive known cell calls can be intercepted for a long time... idk where but you can buy a thing that picks up signals for a few blocks. i always use codes when talking about illegal things though.

    Big whoop. You could just as easily get tracked down by other methods. It is not a reason to not have a cell phone. They are like guns: better to have one and not need it than need it and not have it. Rebelling against technology is like rowing upstream with 1 paddle. It is all going to happen whether the people agree or disagree with what it can do. The sooner you people stop trying to be revolutionists the sooner you can get back to contributing to society.

    LOL - Big Whoop??? Cell Phones are the EASIEST way to track anybody!!! That's until they start chipping people. Look up the term "bread crumbs" in relation to cell phones, and you'll see how spooky this can be :eek:

    dont be so dumb
    they dont use any of that shit in court
    but what they can do is follow you around and listen to things you may be doing soon and bust you on the job.

    I hate it when people say "well who cares, as long as your not doing anything wrong it won't affect you. so don't do anything wrong." thats not the fucking point. You take away one freedom, then another and another and we are living in fucking "1984".
