If you have any mobile phone, 'they' can track you, even if it is switched off! But, only if you are worth watching. I think they filed you next to the X-Files in the Y-bother category.

So, why start being paranoid at GPS? Fool

Obviously, not only did you miss the point you don't seem to care about your liberty. That liberty which allows you to travel where ever you please without someone knowing exactly where you have been.

It is people like you who think so little of freedom that deserve to be cowed. The person who wears the tin foil hat is you my friend. You have insulated yourself to the point that disallows you any other viewpoint than your own. Freedom is not free. Here are some respected quotes which I suspect you have neither read nor understood.

The fact, in short, is that freedom, to be meaningful in an organized society must consist of an amalgam of hierarchy of freedoms and restraints. ~Samuel Hendel

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself. ~Thomas Paine

History does not teach fatalism. There are moments when the will of a handful of free men breaks through determinism and opens up new roads. ~Charles de Gaulle

Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower

Liberty is the possibility of doubting, of making a mistake,... of searching and experimenting,... of saying No to any authority - literary, artistic, philosophical, religious, social, and even political. ~Ignazio Silone, The God That Failed, 1950

Liberty: One of Imagination's most precious possessions. ~Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary

So what part of clandestine data collection don't you understand ? You should put on you blinders and stick you head in the sand because you don't deserve the freedoms you have !

You are obviously in dire need of some tinfoil, my dear sir.
Step over here, the nice man in a white suit will take of you.

To bad they don't go into detail on how to disable the GPS in the phone. Since the NSA made sure the cell phone companies will use GPS in everything mobile that will mean that they will be able to see where you go, who you sit with and who they sit with. They can already turn on the microphone in a cell phone that is turned off.

You see those guys in the NSA were quite upset when they could force the Real ID (RFID Card) down every ones throats. So, they found a way around this by requiring everything mobile to be GPS enabled by 2010. That means the New World Disorder will be watching !

I have purchased a phone that does not have GPS in it. I will not own a phone with GPS in it unless they decide to use it against me for the types of post that I am known for. All you have to do is tick one of those NSA guys off and then without oversight they clandestinely target you. How is it that there isn't oversight for their unilateral wet dreams that lead to nothing and might I add Billions of wasted tax dollars on witch hunts from some jerk who had a hunch or that his gut said someone was "A bad Guy". Just who sets the limits as to what constitutes unreasonable monitoring ?

I want to know. Who says they should have the power to come into your home without even a judges signature ? I am sure that the founding fathers are turning over in their graves just because they tried to protect us from such unconscionable draconian pervasiveness.

Either we take notice and tell our elected officials that this is to much power for anyone to have or we become their chattel.

From this and other posts I am sure that I am screwed. Let me tell you this. I love my country and chose to served in the military. I didn't sign up for this kind of stuff... I swore an oath of elegance to defend her and if necessary give my life in the defense of my country. What I am trying to say is the NSA should not have this kind of power. Who watches the watchers and then who has oversight on them ? You see this is going too far to fast.

No.. I don't want to give up my countries sovereignty nor do I want to union up with Mexico or Canada. My country is screw up as it is and if it became bigger it would become a bigger messed up place. Mexico's drug wars on our borders are abominable. Does out country even protect the borders. NO ! but it sure wants to stick a microscope up our Wahzoo ! I don't get it...
