By pointing out that the war against unwarranted surveillance is already lost - that there are already numerous means to track someone. That while being aware of this particular technique is fine, we shouldn't fret over it or waste too much time/energy worrying about it. It is inherent in the design of the cell phone system. It cannot be removed or defeated (except by not having a cell phone of any kind), and any laws against its use could be creatively ignored just as easily as any others. If you are worried about a hostile government infringing on our rights, there are far better ways to spend your time and energy.

So in my mind a proper response would not be to minimize the risk that the OP entails, but to buttress the OP by stating that there is a litany of other ways to be tracked and patriots should be wary. To ask what the big deal is minimizes the very real threat to many not at your level of awareness. Do you want a cadre of incompetents working with you when it is most important?
