    So I've called 911 twice in the past year in NYC to report emergencies. I know it activates my phone's GPS and sends my phone #, but now I find out that they keep all of this and use it for all sorts of crap in the future? Guess I won't call 911 to report any more emergencies.

    Rule number one, for would-be criminals: Don't carry traceable cell phones. If you're on a contract, kill it. If you have a pre-paid and it gets confiscated for any reason, kick it to the curb. And never, ever use GPS for any reason. Cuz believe me those pigs wi-...

    Err.....I mean...

    WELL, YAH! Serves 'em right! You commit a crime, you lose your rights! If one of these guys came to my house in Texas, where we love America and eat hamburgers and fried chicken, I'd shoot them with my gun that has "2nd Amend." engraved on it. Then I'd sleep with my heterosexual spouse while listening to Glenn Beck!

    .....

    @GitEmSteveDave_IsWaving: Wow I watched video of the Daily Show from that link and that is disturbing.

    I stopped watching Colbert Report for a while (my primary source of news) think it's time to start again.

    @ XanderCrews: Thanks both of you for the links, made me open my eyes a bit more, been a while since I was scared about where are country was going and well not much has changed.

    I guess this proves what I have thought from the beginning of JerseyCam. If you are a chick with webcams, people pay you. If you are a guy, you have to pay people. [GitEmSteveDave.com] is doomed.

    And I swear I used that exact same photo in a comment I made on Gizmodo, but I can't remember what it was.

    In reply to Attn Nerdy Pervs: See Through Walls Using a Wireless Network
    I could be wrong, but I thought there were devices already available that allowed us to see through walls through infrared radiation and other wavelengths. I thought you could find them at a standard military outlet store, but I haven't been in one since -- well, ever. Still, it is nice to know that we can use standard wireless technology to not only break into the network behind the walls but also see the naughty individuals walking around, as well.
