Kill Your Phone

[Mortblanc]

A couple of years back we had two terrorist that set off two bombs in Boston MA. They eluded police for several days until they took a hostage, who escaped, but not before turning on his cell phone and hiding it in the back seat of their car.

The police tracked the phone and sent one of the men to meet his 72 virgins, then captured the other.

Hooraa for GPS tracking devices!

If you folks are still using flip phones, treating them as substitutes for land lines, and only talking occasionally there is a whole new world out there.

I seldom talk on my phone, however, I use it to navigate, view maps, send text, check weather reports and maps, watch movies and TV send pics of the grandchildren, calculate ballistics for my firearms, keep schedules and alert me to planed events and dates and occasionally to wake me up in the morning or remind me that time is closing in on a meeting.

The benefits far out weigh the paranoia, at least in my case, and if I ever have to block the phone I will pull the battery and chuck it into the microwave. Then all I need worry about is the GPS system on my vehicles ad the CCTV network on the traffic grid!

TPTB know where I live, I pay taxes on the place for God's sake! They know what vehicles I drive and what boats I float, if they desire they can click a button and find out where I go camping, where I shop, what I bought for supper last night (it was fried chicken), what clubs I belong too and what I say on every forum on the internet.

Why would they care anything about what any of you are doing? Your bows and arrows and three tins of beans are of no interest to anyone but possibly the 6 people still on this forum.

You are severely over=rating your threat to society.
