Worse: in Germany the cellular providers have been legally forced to
instain snoopware automagically getting a position fix of 100-200 m
precision. Also, there are now portable cellphone ID sniffers. With this,
you can link spoken history of a phone user to his timespace history.

Of course all the nice technology installed never gets used on
anybody, and if, it is always a certified villain.
