Anyone authorizing such invasions of privacy without a search warrant needs to be charged and tried for their crimes involving thousands—if not millions—of counts of violations of people’s civil rights.

I hope they were suitably impressed at my record high score playing canfield solitaire.

So remember when various gummint agencies were recruiting geeks, gamers, because they thot they had great keyboard, etc. skills? I remember the Air Force being infactuated with basement-dwellers. Why would it surprise anyone that the whole bunch of super geeks would now be flying pigs and otherwise trying to wedge themselves into Alice’s rabbit hole. Let’s wait for some kind of evidence that that these stoners are actually good at anything except pin ball. Who believes that your garden variety suicide bomber spends his last days eating digital cheeze balls?

I am confident that the NSA will be able to track terrorists through following players of the Angry Bird app. Afterall, those birds have real anger issues, something they hold in common with terrorists world wide. So it just stands to reason that Angry Birds is popular game among terrorists. They are probably playing it down in Gitmo right now.

We live in a constitutional republic, with a benevolent government that loves and trusts its citizens. They would never collect data and use it against their enemies.

If women have a so called “right to privacy” why don’t cell phone users?
This is ALL blatantly Unconstitutional.

This is ALL blatantly Unconstitutional. I've had a number of FReepers tell me that since we are no longer a moral people, the Constitution doesn't apply anymore.

So our intelligence agencies should NOT be working on ways to utilize new technologies? Not ever?

I've had a number of FReepers tell me that since we are no longer a moral people, the Constitution doesn't apply anymore. It's more that the Constitution was specifically created to be useful ONLY to a moral people. Evil people literally have no use for it. After all, does a thief use a crosswalk when running away with the loot?

Woohoo, now they have acess to my phone data, the really pertinent pieces of which are bits of data they can already access via the extensive records of the IRS.
The US Government, plotting a course around its elbow to get to its hind end since 1783 (at least).

Look up the CIQ app. Then look and see if is on your phone... More than likely it is.

Indeed. My hours playing Pixel Dungeon will really be of use to them.
