I don't think this "bloodless Revolution" thing is going to work out.
I think we're headed for the other kind...
But Vote Trump in the meanwhile!
Not enough laws can ever be written to protect the stupid.
I’m not so sure I agree with that. I think there’s a legitimate question about how much “privacy” someone can have when so much of the allegedly “private” information is in the hands of a nameless, faceless corporate bureaucracy that employs tens of thousands of people.

Ready for the “Beast” to arrive on schedule!

At least it’s not in the hands of the omnipotent government and its myriad agencies.
If it’s considered a “willing” surrender by the consumer, there should be an opt-out clause. I don’t recall seeing any language to that effect in the contract I signed with the cellular service provider.
The immediate remedy is the cell phone will have NO SIGNAL on command!
Where’s my durn chip? (Hand extended)
Aside from the fact an I phone is a computer with a phone ap, it is first and foremost a radio. It receives and transmits radio signals.
There is no privacy with a signal broadcast on radio waves
Score one for people like me who don’t carry a cell phone and don’t care if you can reach me or not.
The sad part is this will work to the advantage of crooks
Just give your cell phone to a friend tell him to drive where ever
Go do what ever evil you want and when it comes up in court your cell phone is your alibi
And some poor stuck who was just driving in the area will go to jail for it because he was there
I can attest to the truth of that.
I had a scanner so I could receive transmissions from the fire department I volenteered to serve.
I could pick up and listen to cell phone conversations.
Newt could probably attest to this too
So, if I were to send a box of sand on a ship or truck they could open every container without warrant?
As the judiciary is comprised of government workers, I can't say that I am surprised when goverment judges rule in favor of more government.
The judiciary is not comprised of philosopher kings.

suppose there is an armed robbery.
the cops are going to investigate
every cellphone in the area.
who is not suppose to be there?
anybody could be a lookout.
I think those are the Amici, not Appellants (and a more disparate group would be hard to find!). Aaron Graham appears to be the sole Appellant.
When I and a few others reviled the PATRIOT act there were folks on FR who said “If you aren’t doing anything wrong, what do you have to worry about”.
Sorry, you are correct.
