"The Snitch in Your Pocket" -Michael Isikoff ~ My Responce

The reason that Michael Isikoff named the tittle "The Snitch in Your Pocket" because there actually is a snitch in your pocket tattle telling your information. In his case, the snitch is your mobile phone that you carry around with you everywhere you go. They say companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint devices are using their cell phone products to help track people. Isikoff says “The tracking is possible because either the phones have tiny GPS units inside or each phone call is routed through towers that can be used to pinpoint a phone's location to areas as small as a city block". How where we suppose to know that buying a phone would come with a price, besides the price we already had to pay for. They are "277 million cellphones"

And most of us don't even have a clue that we are being tracked by them. This was going on ever since Bush administration's warrant less was wiretapping program that was like about maybe more than 8 years ago, it has been rumored that "mini- revolt was brewing over another type of federal snooping" was not getting any much publication to that notice at all. Isikoff believes that internal data from telecommunications companies would show the locations of their customers' cell phones with the excuse of they needed the records to "trace the movements of suspected drug traffickers, human smugglers, even corrupt officials". In that case they do have a good point but it doesn't mean that they are not using it for foul thing they should not be doing. Even some of the federal magistrates where not feeling at ease about it when they founded out.  The purpose for wanting to have access to trace sell phones are because it was intentionally to help police and other emergency officers during the 911 calls. It is indeed help full, wanting to know where the victim cry for help is located to know where they are at or if the call gets called off. At least the person would know that more likely their location will be known. But the FBI and other law-enforcements have been obtaining records or cell-phone locations without letting the person know or permission to do so. Sprint Nextel even has a web site that helps the law-enforcements to have access to record without really breaking a sweat.

Nextel says that in order for the agents to have access they would need be authenticated before they are given passwords to log on to the site but as will have to prove a valid court orders for all non-emergency requests. I am just wondering why the court is okay with giving them access if it is not even an emergency or need to. I wonder if they can do the same for other electronics that is not a phone that they use from companies also.
