    Gentlemen,

    I was not sure where to post this, here or in politics, but I decided to put it here, because it is a rather technical post. It still has big political impact.

    What Is SeaGlass?

    SeaGlass is a system designed by security researchers at the University of Washington to measure IMSI-catcher use across a city.

    Bringing Transparency to Cellphone Surveillance

    Modern cellphones are vulnerable to attacks by governments and hackers using rogue cellular transmitters called IMSI-catchers. These surveillance devices can precisely locate phones, and sometimes eavesdrop on communications, send spam, or inject malware into phones.

    Recent leaks and public records requests have revealed that U.S. law enforcement in Baltimore, Milwaukee, New York, Tacoma, Anaheim, Tucson, and others have used IMSI-catchers extensively in vehicles or aircraft to identify and locate suspects.

    These powerful surveillance devices have often been used with little to no judicial oversight. To provide accountability, we need independent information on who uses them, how often, and when.

    Thanks for the update but it’s been the nature of government and industry to use any form of communication as a level to obtain an advantage. Loose Lips sink ships … As soon as you utter the words your secret is no longer a secret …

    Just another page in the book of trying to keep control of the masses

    I don’t have a cell-phone and my landline is out of order .. got hit by lightning and shorted out the DSL filter in the outdoor service box. Enjoying the peace and quiet for a time.

    Agree with Blade – they are welcome to check mine. Texts bitching about my job and downloading porn online…hardly earth shattering stuff
