Jim,
I think this would come under the heading of privacy....or our losing more
and more of it on a daily bases. I got a call from my cell phone company
today (US
Cellular) they told me that I was going to be required to bring in my old phone...the
same one I have had for five years... and trade it for one that was capable of
being tracked by 911 (these are the [E-911]
ones with GPS chips
in them.) I told them that
I did not want to. They told me I had no choice. They said that continuing to
use the phone would result in FCC fines.
(Has anyone else heard about this?) It seems that the only choice they are letting
me have is picking out my new
phone. So I'm going to have to do this, and according to them everyone who has
an old phone is also going to be required to trade. So, I guess I will also be
building a Faraday cage to keep my phone in when not in use. Actually, I'm just
going to keep it in an ammo can. Hey, it's my business where I go and what I
do, not the government's. - The Army Aviator
