Cell phones the new cyber leash

The federal investigators have recently lost two cases regarding the use of cell-phones to track the where-abouts of two citizens without showing probable cause. It seems that inevitable move from physical harassment to cyber-harassment has been hindered by ‘we the people.’ Dare I say it! God Bless the US government for holding up our rights in court.

The leap to constant surveillance posed by futuristic movies of decades past has finally become a reality. This is a very crucial period in our countries history in regards to ‘privacy issues.’ Our lives have become a cache of streaming data that seems to defy even Hiesenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. Our exact position and velocity can be measured and documented with accuracy by triangulation and instant messenger.

At moment it seems that the government still believes that we own our lives. How long will this last? At what value will ‘Big Business’s of Web 2.0’ begin finding that our trust in their privacy clause is trumped by deep pockets of federal curiosity? The truth remains, in the long run, we are only as valuable as the highest bidder. The government may not be able to legally seek cyber warrants but they can outsource in the name of interest. Sprint doesn’t have to show the feds anything but will sell records to a private contractor.

The line is blurring, Cookies and accessibility will eventually have the same affair with the American Public that ‘greed’ had with Gordon Gecko. Hoo-Rah! Call to the Public we need to lobby for stronger privacy laws. We are upon an age where our privacy may be all that we have. What’s the next step, employers keeping tabs on all their prospective employees to ensure they are screening for the most efficient ‘bottom line.’

Well we tracked Martins day and found out that he first visited blockbuster where he played Doom for 8 consecutive hours. Then he went to the zoo where he got sidetracked by the gorilla exhibit. He just isn't Goldman material. Now let's got to happy hour and Scores!

I moved out of my parent’s house to get away from the constant ‘eye’ in the sky and I want to keep it that way.
