Tracking People Via Cell Phone

An anonymous reader writes "According to the articleat the Guardian the UK Government have been working on a project to use the widely available mobile phone masts as a form of localised radar to track both people and vehicles without their knowledge. Supposedly there is even work on the way to give this project the ability to see through walls! Maybe Philip K. Dick was right to be paranoid about governments."

  2. A typical Slasdottian/geek attitude by PhysicsGenius · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    So the reason were supposed to be afraid of cellphones is that the government might be trying to use them to catch criminals. Guess what, genii, they use fingerprints the same way--are you planning on cutting off your hands any time soon?

    A much more valid reason to avoid cellphones is radiation. If you remember your physics, H=qrP/3pi which indicates that the dosage recieved is proportional to the distance. Since you put your cellphone by your head (and since they contain substantial amounts of power, to reach the faraway cell towers) your brain is going to get quite a zap. Use with care, or with tongs.

    We all know there are ways around it. How? Why, simply buy a pre-paid phone with cash, and turn the thing off when not in use.

    I propose instead that everyone has a subcutaneous tracker attached at birth, in exchange for lower taxes or something. Not having to be watched all the time will save the government a lot of money after all, so there is good reason to pass on the saving to the taxpayer. The added benefit to this is that the poor are the ones most likely to want a tax rebate (assuming it is a fixed quantity rather than a proportion), and it is the poor who are most likely to commit crimes.

    Screw that! I want them to use cell phone towers to detect Slashdot dupe posts - again and again and again... BTW, have we had any triple posts yet or are we still waiting for that treat?

  5. Geek looking for bi/gay guy to suck off by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Hi. I'm an early 20-something gay geek looking to have a good time with some other gay geeks. I've already tried gay.com and planetout.com personal ads without much success. Sure, there's a lot of gays on those services, but if I mention Linux to them they think it is some kind of new lubricant. I want a geek who knows what I'm talking about when I start mounting my removable media.

    If you're near my age and interested, please e-mail me at gaygeekboi@gay.com. Thanks!

  6. There is a way to stop them. by SaturnTim · · Score: 1, Offtopic


    Okay, I might be violating some law... but there is a way to stop them from using this technique. I'm going to the patent office, but I thought I would give you a heads-up... I call my invention the "off button".

    On a related story, they can also track you when you are using a regular non-cellular telephone.

  10. [Trolling Stones] lunch time by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Thank's to my office's upgrading to freebsd, I no longer have a job, since the stability in freebsd has rendered my linux knowledge irrelevant. I used to spend days patching the buggy networking protocols, and instructing users how to get a similar gui to windowsXP's superior user interface. Subway understands the concerns of a growing force of unemployed linux admins, and has lowered prices accordingly. Normally, I would suggest the Italian BMT as a hearty and filling, yet surprisingly healthy lunch, but today I bucked the trend and went for a triple bacon club, heavy on the mayo, because I realized I am not fat enough to be a successful linux hacker. Unfortunately for me, since Subway's subs are so healthy, I actually ended up losing weight by eating. So really, Subway is the premier choice for those trying to fulfil their daily bacon requirements, and for those trying to lose weight. Don't forget, tomorrow is Subway's Troll Tuesday deal, with $3.49 footlong subs ($3.77 in New York thanks to the ungodly 8% sales tax). AS usual, nothing is better than the Italian BMT. Even Iron Chef Morimoto says that the Italian BMT is the best food ever.
