Need to make an open source scrambler device for all my calls now....
I think that’s been pretty much open knowledge since the 1980’s. At least when the NSA used to come and recruit on our campus everyone was pretty much in agreement that that’s what they did. Allegedly they were only supposed to monitor calls going or coming from overseas. The Brits supposedly monitored the ones between two US points. We did the same for calls within the UK and then exchanged information.
I used to work for the Law Enforcement Relations department in a large cell phone company. All sorts of stuff is recorded and stored for at least seven years. This includes your location even if you are not using your phone (as long as it is turned on and you have a signal).
But they don’t record the content of voice calls without a warrant.
What would the memory requirements for this be?
I think they *want* us to think this is possible.
Remember Rules for Radicals #9- “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself...Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist....”
I personally don’t believe they could pull off a technological feat of that nature without some sort of major SNAFU that blows the entire telecom system.
Except for college kids in Ohio. Don’t you worry.
(Thus saith The One.)
What else is new?
The Patriots will have to devise their own communication network to plan the revolution.
I need to include “bless his heart” whenever speaking of hussein.
Front page news if Bush was still Prez, but now we only get relevant info from the foreign press.
Ecclesiastes 10:20 Furthermore, in your bedchamber do not curse a king, and in your sleeping rooms do not curse a rich man, for a bird of the heavens will carry the sound and the winged creature will make the matter known.
this is a hella’uva’ amt of phone calls- it boggles the mind
Where are these super servers storing all this information?
Really is there enough memory in the universe to store all the data?
If anyone is assigned to listening to my phone calls, I feel sorry for the SOB. He must be the most bored man on the planet.
Well... duh. Everyone had to already assume this.
That is why I used to pepper my conversations with words like "Clinton bombing," followed by, "I sure hope I just tripped a wire."
Maybe they have me down as a harmless crackpot.
My wife is on the phone 5 hrs. a day I bet they get tired of listening to her.
I been telling people this for years.
This is why cell data encryption was crippled.
They justify it because the data is simply recorded and stored and it supposedly requires a warrant to make it available to an investigation.
The cell call in the Travon Martin case is recorded and stored.
Imagine all the juicy cell data that must exist for the Chicago area for the last decade or so....
There are cell phones available with unbreakable encryption... just not for the general public.
It is possible to modify a phone so that the CPU uses unbreakable public-key encryption... doing this would raise a large red flag over you.
Skype only then...
Are you surprised that your government is actually a fascist organization that doesn’t give a rat’s a$$ about ANY amendment?
We are now living in a police state. For years the commie libs whined about the GOP trying to take away their freedom and liberty while invading their privacy. Now that it is actually happening? Crickets! I guess it’s okay if a Marxist does it.
