They are now pushing he ticket on all fronts by many who want control just to see what they can get away with. Would we have ever accepted homeland security if 911 never happened

I ask 3 questions to semi prove how we are tracked via our phones:

1. How do they calculate how many minutes it will take you and the herd of vehicles you are driving in, to get from your entrance to point x on the freeway, you are driving on.

2. These big white trucks with no names on their side, show up all over town and have these big antennas that can be raised and rotated to cover at least 180 degrees. What are they doing. In the meantime a survey company based in Silly con Valley releases a road survey that 15,000 cars start out in your city each morning and heads to work cities they average 22.5 mph. Then, later that evening, 15,000 cars return home and average 22.5 mph.

3. About once a week, a non descript vehicle gets pulled over due to a broken tail light during one of thsse commute times. Then, magically one or two cop cars pull up with drug sniffing dogs, which go beserk by the pulled over car.

Minutes later with the driver is on his knees by the pulled over vehicle with a lot of neatly plastic wrapped rectangle packages are by the side of the driver and his vehicle with the magically broken tail light, being photographed.

One might question, how did the cops know to pull over that non descript vehicle out of the 15000 vehicles in that commute at that time.

Everything you said I know. I know you're right.

Here's the thing: I'm divorced. I need an alibi. I need things that track my movement so I have an alibi. You and I both know that when something unexpected happens to an ex, the ex-spouse is ALWAYS suspect #1.

I draw the line at my cellphone being used to track my every movement so the Gubbermint knows where I am and who I've been in contact with.

That's just f'n creepy and none of their damn' business.

BTW: I'm a Microsoft free (I run Linux on all my desktops) and Google Free (I use duckduckgo.com) house. I block all Fakebook tracking cookies too and use purpose built machines for specific tasks.

One Linux Desktop is dedicated to online banking ONLY.

Another Linux Desktop is dedicated to HTPC ONLY.

A third Linux Desktop is my casual web browsing/FR Desktop ONLY.

I run an enterprise grade Firewall & App Server @ Home on a Linux Server with a hardened shell.

I have a PiHole appliance running on Raspberry Pi to block all ads and malware from getting to my network

And finally I have another Linux Server that serves as a reverse proxy for all Internet Access via an SSL VPN. (My Cellphone uses my internal network for all Internet access also, no matter where I am.)

I'm a bit of a security nerd when it comes to Internet Security. Comcast ain't getting sh*t outta me and my web usage. Them and FedGov can kiss my lilly white ass.

“[I]t’s an alternative legal system where the accused have fewer rights,” the outlet wrote, later adding that if “current trends hold, it’s possible that in the future a majority of misdemeanors and even some felonies will be punished not by Washington, D.C., but by Silicon Valley.”

WE already have it.
