FBI Wants To Hear You Talk Dirty
MSNBC | Submitted by: NekoTurk
"A congressional panel investigating the fraudulent acquisition and sale of mobile phone records by Internet Web firms has collected evidence that indicates law enforcement officials at the local, state and federal levels use the Internet-based services as an investigative short-cut, MSNBC.com has learned. At least one Web-based data seller has told Congress that the FBI is a client."

Sure...they'll use it as a step in an extra-legal fishing expedition...then get "legitimate" records when they feel they have enough to nail you. Message to smart thieves and terrorist organizations...use pay-as-you-go-phones and let the relatively harmless "criminals" get fucked in these useless fishing expeditions.

This article dovetails nicely with yesterday's regarding Congress's consideration of "Mandatory ISP Snooping." Apparently, phone-tapping's not illegal if someone else does it for you, much like money laundering or a contract hit. So, is this considered outsourcing? First torturers, now eavesdroppers; the Bush Administration must be downsizing to help offset the costs of Iraq's "Liberation." How frugal.

Just don't do your business over the cell phone, do it in person, sheesh. No records that way at all.

Truly hilarious FBI paying for blackmail, when they could get it for free! And these are the same dummies, that are supposed to protect us all from Osama and all his insane brethren!(the annual preventable death statistics tell us otherwise, as to what can be fatal to life as we know it!) Looks like J Edgar, has returned from the grave, with an evil unsurpassed, in this new age of Bush Terrorism against it's own country's citizens, with all his nefarious blackmail and other underhanded schemes, as insurance to be used routinely against anyone or anything that threatens their butt cushions! Ah stupid law officials, the world will be a better place, when they all die peacefully in their sleep, for when they are working, they terrorize the innocent and let the guilty go free, in the name of defending our freedoms, and removing all constitutional rights on the same breath!

FBI spokesman Richard J. Kolko said Sunday he could not confirm or deny whether the bureau had received mobile phone records from Advanced Research, but acknowledged that the FBI sometimes buys or receives data from private companies to help with investigations. But he said agents would never break any laws to obtain such evidence. --------------------------------------- Right....and I'm a Victoria's Secret model with a trust fund and a daddy who owns a liquor store.

Actually, prepaid phones provide only limited privacy. After all, when you're snooping, first you get a list of who called 'A', and among the commonly called and received numbers is the prepaid phone owned by 'B'. Then they just get the records of who 'B' called. Chances are very good 'B' called family, friends, etc. on the same phone. Look up some of those people who've also called 'B' and find out who it is. Now you know who 'B' is. So if you buy a prepaid phone for nepharious purposes, be sure NOT to use it for anything else but to contact or be contacted by that ONE person you're conspiring with (i.e., your contact to one other cell of the network), and buy a fresh, new one whenever the minutes run out. Destroy the old one before discarding it. BTW, the phonebook, date book, call history, etc. in the phone can also (potentially) be downloaded remotely (so that they can 'back it up for you'). The voice mail is stored at a central location, and normally keeps messages long after you've 'deleted' them (in case you really didn't mean 'delete'?). Don't put 'real' names or events on your phone, flush the history after each use, don't configure voice mail or leave voice mail, and change out the pseudonyms when you get new phones. Having the contents downloaded is a given if the phone is ever captured. And for heck's sake, don't TM or take pictures with it (if so equipped), EVER! Super, duper important: Don't give a phone to someone, or give your number to anyone who will potentially fail to follow these rules faithfully. Have someone drop in and 'collect' the phones every so often to check up. If you want real security and privacy, heavily encrypt and seal your message in a supremely tamper evident container. Put it on magnetic media. The post office works just fine, and there are plenty of anonymous mail drops and 'Mailboxes R Us' places to collect, and each recipient should have multiple such boxes. Last I checked, the government hasn't started routinely opening people's mail, yet.

How about the new broadband phone companies such as vonage? combine that new service with this rotten article from yesterday "Congress may consider mandatory ISP snooping" and now they can monitor all your phone conversations legally.

But he said agents would never break any laws to obtain such evidence. Bullshit. The Thugs, just by operating under the "Patriot Act," are breaking the law...everyday.

Man...cloning a cell phone is so much easier than all that =). But yeah...all these things we've allowed with the Patriot Act will make us no safer and just gives the control freaks in law enforcement more ways to catch people in large fishing nets who were no threat to society.
