This has been happening for years. The ability to track cell phones continues to used by law enforcement to catch guys, while they’re running from the police. Its how they go after terrorists and insurgents during combat op’s. Can it be used and abused by the government, but in some instances, there are quite a few bad guys in jail because of that technology.
Shhhhh! You'll disturb The Force!!!!
Besides, it's not the government we need to worry about it's Ma and Pa Democrat operatives tracking Newt Gingrich.
