I first heard of this capability nearly 10 years ago.

What is most tragic about Dudayev's death is how he was lured by Russian 'negotiators' into a death trap. Following Yeltsin's March 31 announcement of a 'peace plan' and call for direct negotiations with Dudayev, the Chechen leader was begged to attend a Russian satellite phone call for the sake of 'peace'.

As soon as he began the conversation, Dudayev was reportedly killed by a missile fired from the air, guided by emissions from his satellite telephone. The missile attack also obliterated much of Gekhi-Chu village, 35 kms southeast of Grozny.

The technology to pinpoint emissions from satellite phones has been supplied to Russia by the US.

personally don't own one

Nor do I.

Now I got this brother-in-law that steadfastly refuses to use the internet, for fear of privacy invasions. Yet he spends 24/7 with his freakin' ear pinned to the cell phone.

The way I see it...if you got a SS card, or a D/L or ever applied for credit, then anyone that wants to find anything out about you sure can, very easily. The idea of having privacy? That ship sailed back in the '30s sometime.

I don't own a cellphone. I don't even use a cordless phone anymore. I do have a wireless computer network in the house though, but I do not do online banking. If the government, or those driving near me with a laptop, manages to read what I'm typing right now so be it, lol.

If the need arises to buy and sell stocks, I use an automated phone trading system with a corded phone (still gives me the online rate). Had a broker ask me why I wouldn't do it online not too long ago. I told him it was not secure. He assured me it was. I told him, as a computer programmer, how he's so certain I don't have an undetected computer virus on my machine capturing all keystrokes? You know, maybe come out to my house and actually prove it to me since I can't seem to prove it to myself. No matter how secure the system is at his end all it would take is one keystroke capturing virus at my end to make it unsecure. By the end of that talk I'm guessing he's back to using a corded phone at home too, lol.

For long distance, I use phone cards I buy at Costco (less than 3 cents per minute). I do not recharge them though. First, it is often more expensive than just buying another card. Second, the fewer people who know my credit card information the better.

Chasing the Keystroke Capturers
Judging by the reaction of the audience, monitoring for this kind of stealthware is next to impossible. The products are designed to operate invisibly—that’s the whole point—and once installed are unlikely to trigger alerts from firewalls or intrusion detection systems. They just sit there, whispering your secrets.

Amendments are expected in connection with Section 206. In this age of disposable cell phones, satellite phones and constantly advancing communications technology, the original Act altered existing law to accommodate these new technologies. Permitting “roving” wiretaps based on a description of the target but not specifically identifying the location or facilities to be targeted for surveillance, Section 206 gave investigators what was necessary to keep pace with the terrorists and the new technologies they use. The primary concern with this section was the lack of specificity required in the identification of the individual to be targeted for surveillance. The reauthorizing legislation, therefore, requires – where a positive identification cannot be provided – a description of the target that is sufficiently specific to ensure that only one person is indeed targeted.

I guess you're right, but the difference is, I think, they don't know who you are.

Voice recognition and other clues such as your home/work location will using the phone and what is said on the phone.....they could figure out who you were pretty quickly.

Could if they bugged your home and vehicle. Hell they could put cams in your house and watch every move...even the bowel move.

I don't think Me or You would rate that type of interest, but it could be done. I can tell you that when we lived in Govt housing in Berlin, I NEVER said anything that I wouldn't want the world to know; and the phones...well 'nuff said.

True, so why give them easy access with the use of a cell phone or these kroger/safeway and those of their ilk savings cards they require you to have to purchase products at a reasonable price.

I traded my card with a friend that had traded with his aunt.

I just try to buck the system every chance I get. Fuck big brother and I don't play well with tyrants.

For those of you with cell phones.

They would be quite bored with me. 95 percent of my calls are for Asian take out on my way home. No one who has any sense at all says anything on any kind of phone, email, etc that they don't want anyone else to know about.

It's not really what you say that matters. It's the fact that they have access to you via listening or tracking you.

Even if you are no threat in any way, if you don't like big brother you don't enable him IMHO.

I would be completely outside thier system if I had the finacial resources to do so.

Cell phones? I don't own one...a brain tumor is a horrible way to go...

That and the EMF field generated by the phone disrupted neurons ability to repair themselves, leading to earlier onset of dementia due to and accelerated loss of brain cells.

There have been many studies done in Germany on the subject.

The other study found that the side the brain tumor developed on corresponded to the side in which the user held the phone 95% of the time.

Along with the big brother factor.....Hell no will I ever own one.

I bought my pre-paid phone from Cellular One in Michigan.

It was totally anonymous, they didn't even ask for a name or adress.

Unless they got my license number in the parking lot, there is no way that they know who I am.
