Mobile Phones are tracking devices, what we can do about it ?

If each one of us put on a mask, then they wouldn't know who really is the terrorist.

So, if each one of us started their conversation with "In the name of Allah and terrorism and jihad, how are you doing today?" or something like that, they wouldn't be able to tell who's the real terrorist and who's faking.

Pay as you go phones are not a safe way to keep anonymous either. the Protect America Act deals with those phones. They will monitor you just like they would if you have a cell phone contract. They did this specifically because they said terrorists would buy lots of these phones and keep using a new one every time they make a call.

I have an answering machine. If I'm not home, I will get back to you. Otherwise, deal with it.

I can just hear the howls and screams now, "BUT I NEED a cell phone to do x, y, or z!!"

Really, and what do you think Americans did to communicate with each other between the era of carrier pigeons/morse code and cell phones hmm??

Learn how to operate and work with a land line dufus. Then you don't have to worry about 'eavesdropping.' And for the record, I know they are listening there too, so I only say non important stuff over the phone. The rest is saved for in person meetings.

If you feel the need to have your "privacy", not risk being tracked (even though you are doing nothing wrong, other than being a patriotic american)... take the battery out of your phone when you feel the need.

Theoretically you can turn the locator off. I have it turned off on my phone. But I question just how "off" it turns it. It makes it so my network cannot monitor the location, so it says. But it still will turn on with a 911 call. I have to turn the locator on when I use the GPS navigation in my phone. Otherwise it will not work.

Your best bet to stay off the radar, is to just keep to yourself. But if you feel that your political activity.. sign waving, questioning your senators, etc.. may make you a target.. just take the battery out of your phone. Although if you really are being targeted through your phone, and you do that, they will just find another way to spy on you talking about that dangerous document called the Constitution.

Don't do anything illegal, and you "shouldn't" have anything to worry about. But remember, talking about legal things like the Constitution or speaking out against our Dear Leader, may land you on the radar screen still.

Basically your best bet is to just keep your mouth shut about certain things. I know that's hard to do. Speak in private to only trusted people if you really are worried. But remember, I am only talking about perfectly legal things to talk about. Legal things that for some reason our govt now sees as dangerous, like freedom, constitution, rights. If you're talking about illegal things, then there's not much anyone can do to keep ya from being tracked if you are caught on the radar. Phone or no phone, they're going to find a way.

Don't use them. I don't have one, and I don't want one.

to have cameras in your set top box too.

we will soon be required to attach to our TV or it will no longer work?

Will that truely be an in-house tracking device and will it work whether plugged in or not? We have to get one yet, but am truly suspicious!

it drives the CIA nuts.

can buy that blocks the signal to and from your phone. Sells for about $15 at spyville.com. It works very well.

I have a pay-as-you go phone. I feel absolutely no need to have a cell phone with me everywhere I go. If I'm not home, people can leave a message on my answering machine. And I have apartments, so if I can do it, anyone can. Here's what I do: IF there comes a time when I am expecting an important call, such as if I have a vacancy and an ad in the paper, and I have to leave the house but don't want to miss a call, I put my land line on call forwarding to my cell phone. That's really all I use it for.

Isn't there some way to "dig out" the tracking chip or whatever the hell it is, and still use the phone? IF I had one, you can be sure I would be taking that battery out eery time it was not in use!

& CIA can also use your cellphone as a microphone to eavesdrop on you anytime they want. Even if your cellphone is turned off, they can do this. The only way to prevent that is if you remove the battery.

The tracking device works in conjunction with the 911 emergency capability. All you have to do is take the battery out of the phone. No power, no antennae, no transmitter, no tracking device. No Problem. This will also defeat the ability of the feds to eavesdrop on you.

Not only that, but on many phones (I think the ones with speakerphones) they can also listen in and use your phone as a bug even when it is powered off. The only means to detect it is if your battery runs out quickly when you haven't used it. I think there is a way to disable it from allowing this but I don't know what it is. I think one means is to take the battery out after use but that would be a hassle.

...don't have a mobile phone. :) I have yet to be convinced I need one of these, regardless of tracking, cancer, or any other concern. The world's a far louder place now with people talking and ringing and texting and laughing at things only they can see... I am doing my part to stop noise pollution !
