FCC Wants to Track Wireless

pin_gween writes "According to an article on ZDNet, the FCC wants the ability to track Wi-fi accessible phones like the ZyXel phone. The FCC's June report talked about several ways of realizing a caller's location: 'creating an "inventory" of every Wi-Fi access point in the United States, engaging in "mapping and triangulation" of those access points, compiling an "access jack inventory" for wired VoIP users, or even mandating that Net phones include GPS.'"

As a mere alien, I just don't get it.

I thought that US citizens had the Constitutionally guaranteed right to bear arms to prevent federal governments getting into this sort of nonsense. Is it time for a few well aimed assinations? I understand that there is a particularly well qualified Arab in Bagdad who would be only too willing to help with the training. Technology gone completely mad imho. Makes the Soviet Union look positively benign in comparison.
