Big Brother is Watching You! More on FBI Cell Phone Tapping/Surviellance/Technology!

What I didn't realize was that the FBI is tapping cell phones REMOTELY, they send the tapping software to the users phone without knowledge of it! Those shady Suits!

"If ordered to do so, mobile telephone operators can also tap any calls, but more significantly they can also remotely install a piece of software on to any handset, without the owner's knowledge, which will activate the microphone even when its owner is not making a call, giving security services the perfect bugging device. "We have inadvertently started carrying our own trackable ID card in the form of the mobile phone," said Sandra Bell, head of the homeland security department at the Royal United Services Institute."
