Pssst. Hey, you!! Koerner!!

Did you know that your computer keystrokes can be detected and recorded from outside your house?

And that your car can be tracked by people taking down your license plate number?

Sheesh. What a waste of words.

You can turn the "tracking" feature OFF on my cell phone.

I wouldn't truely trust that option unless the phone was off and the battery removed.

We have thwarted this homing feature by erecting a huge tin-foil hat over our house...of course we can't make or recieve cell calls in our house either :o) (actually we have a metal roof and do have to go outside for signal of any kind)

Hmmmmm.
Question: is there anyone or any site which has compiled which models have and which don't have the locator chip?

Is the cell phone antenna and the gps antenna a dual purpose antenna?

If not, I see a lot of "modifications" being done after purchase to those models; like addition of in-line on-off switch.
