Battle Brews Over FBI's Warrantless GPS Tracking

fysdt writes "The FBI's use of GPS vehicle tracking devices is becoming a contentious privacy issue in the courts, with the Obama administration seeking Supreme Court approval for its use of the devices without a warrant, and a federal civil rights lawsuit targeting the Justice Department for tracking the movements of an Arab-American student. In the midst of this legal controversy, Threat Level decided to take a look at the inside of one of the devices, with the help of the teardown artists at iFixit."

    Demublican and Repocrat differ on SOCIAL issues (other than the power of the State when each is in office) and the Second Amendment, but not much else.
