Should have a bugs & law section on what's legal or not.

[edit] Active editors: Have you thought of writing...

...an article about GPS/SMS bugs? These tiny devices, hidden somewhere at your car, determine its position via GPS and transmit the coordinates via GSM's (or other standards') SMS service to your surveillant(s). They are apparently widely abused by the LEC, secret services or private snoops, thereby infringing on basic civil liberties. Also the aspect of possible counter-weapons could be discussed.

Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Global_Positioning_System and check out '14: GPS tracking'. Feel free to contact me directly, if you prefer.

[edit] Remotely activated mobile phone microphones

Regarding my edit: our footnote goes to a news.com.com article, which in turn cites a politechbot article, purportedly an excerpt from the relevant memorandum opinion. This states that the FBI installed listening devices in the cellphones in question. Nowhere does it state that the unmodified cellphones were used as remote-controlled listening devices. Hence my wording. Note this doesn't mean the technique doesn't work, just that the opinion didn't explicitly address it. Tualha (Talk) 23:46, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
