Wow. Privacy on your cellphone is totally gone, the FBI has got you covered and can build a picture of your habits based on your cellphone usage. So, Propaganda programing? Check! Cameras? Check! Total Access & tracking of population? Check! Now what I’m wondering is if the internet by the same carriers also totally accessible by the FBI or any other US governmental entity? http://www.democracynow.org/2008/4/10/telecom_whistleblower_discovers_circuit_that_allows
Telecom Whistleblower Discovers Circuit that Allows Access to All Systems on Wireless Carrier—Phone Calls, Text Messages, Emails and More
Babak Pasdar is a computer security expert who was hired in 2003 to help restructure the tech infrastructure at a major wireless telecommunications company. What he found shocked him. The company had set up a system that gave a third party, presumably a governmental entity, access to every communication coming through that company’s infrastructure. This means every email, internet use, document transmission, video, text message, as well as the ability to listen to and record any phone call.
