Back in the day of early cordless land-line phone systems, any boy with a set of cheap {really, really cheap} walkie-talkies could listen into the neighbors phone conversations just by sitting on his front porch and aiming his hand held walkie-talkie antenna at any house in the cul-de-sac that he wanted to and listen in on the conversations :) 

 

Hell-bells, even the local Police Department would/could pick up the conversations on their mobile units, and those home based scanners would/could do the same things...don't know if the systems still interact that way...but if your bouncing calls off of a radio tower some how/some where someone is probably picking up your conversations...YA, MULL THAT OVER FOR A WHILE :eek:

We've all been paying the extra fees for all of this 911 technology {for years} and now that we seem to be finally on the receiveing end of some good quality emergency services from/for all of our Cell Phones some body gets squeamish about our privacy...GOOD GRIEF  

 

The really big issue would be; are the mobile/cell phone companies actually going to maintain those call records for 3/6/9/12 months or as many of them do...just have a shredded paper party/down load a bad file into their storage and POOF there go the records and there goes the history of some terrorist that might have lead to the terrorist home base!  The advances in technology seems to be problematic/highly costly for the providers...who just love to pass that cost along to 'US' the end user :mad:
