Ok, maybe I am totally stupid, but how does a GPS enabled phone, or a GPS system in a car, TRACK you!? GPS does not SEND out signals, it RECEIVES them. Its not like a GPS enabled phone constantly sends out GPS location data to the network. It might have features where the network requests its location somehow, but even that I doubt since the network has no use for the information.

On the presumption that it's true (yet to see anything to prove that although it sounds more than plausible) this Potter idiot and those like him are the reason all this crap gets through. It's only one part of a huge string of civil liberty and privacy crap pulled by the government because of terrorism'. Sadly though there are a lot of people like Potter i.e. without the intelligence or ability to see the bigger picture.
There's a fairly famous quote around somewhere about a guy who ignores the gradual erosions of freedom until there's only him left so then it's him they target. Wish I could remember it as it puts the whole thing into perspective. It ends something like 'then they came for me'.Ignorance is never bliss.

http://www.janrainwater.com/htdocs/Rohde.htm - for that quote about they came for me
Real simple answer to the entire problem - Get The Fuck Rid of your Cell Phone if you dont like it - its not like its something required and for a few thousand years we've been able to live without them - they are a waste of money and are a total waste of time for all of the kids that use them in school nowComment

Can you post articles to the cases with the same type of "privacy issues" like that of putting gps on a cell?Originally posted by sacXYou've got it round the wrong way!
The Constitution doesn't give the Government the right to track your every move!
Although the Constitution doesn't explicitly refer to a right to privacy there have been numerous civil cases that have been brought to the Supreme Court that have interpreted the Constitution to implicitly provide a right to privacy.

That was me, and I hope you're joking. If anyone thinks that the government putting gps into cell phones will turn into implants into newborns in a couple of years. TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER NOW AND GET OUT OF THE HOUSE MORE OFTENOriginally posted by assmunk

Thanks close - but it did have the name of the guy who made the original quote which I think is betterOriginally posted by Linkster
First they came for the Communists,
and I didn?t speak up,
because I wasn?t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn?t speak up,
because I wasn?t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn?t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.
Sums it up perfectly. Of course it does take just a little intelligence to apply that to different situations (although not much) and several idiots have proven they probably don't have enough to manage it. For the rest though I've always thought it a great quote.Ignorance is never bliss.

It still looks a tad bogus though despite all the other crap the government has pulled with similar issues. The only people who seem aware of it are 'ebayers' and there's every possibility they have a vested interest in seeing the phone activated ASAP so will come up with any old BS to achieve it.Ignorance is never bliss.
