I'd tell them to go fuck themselves. They aren't getting into my phone. All my drug connections are in there. ha ha.

That is nothing. Currently there is only 1 circuit court district that has ruled against warrant less vehicle tracking based on GPS. It is expected that the Supremes will take up the case to clear the conflicting rulings in lower court cases. Which way they will rule remains to be seen.
And did you know that a warrant less search can be made of all your emails over 180 days old? Your ISP has to hand them over upon a request from the authorities. Stems from a 1986 law passed when 1980s storage technology was limited. The logic being that any email left on a server over 180 days was considered abandoned. Abandoned mail property had already been ruled to be not subject of needing probable cause or a warrant to search.
Requests have been made for years to get congress to update the law to reflect current storage technology and the way we use it.

Of course if you have an Iphone and a PC you sync it to it makes it really easy for anyone who has access to them for a moment to keep tabs on you.
The file contains the latitude and longitude of the phone's recorded coordinates along with a timestamp, meaning that anyone who stole the phone or the computer could discover details about the owner's movements using a simple program.
For some phones, there could be almost a year's worth of data stored, as the recording of data seems to have started with Apple's iOS 4 update to the phone's operating system, released in June 2010.
"Apple has made it possible for almost anybody - a jealous spouse, a private detective - with access to your phone or computer to get detailed information about where you've been," said Pete Warden, one of the researchers.

JR, was just coming here to post this.
And Woggah, I know the picture shows the phone hooked to the machine but the article seems to imply that OTA scanning is used as the method of collection.
I have heard of apps that are available now that allow you to get the pictures off of nearby smartphones users. I haven't looked into them but assume they may be simply filesharing apps that open chosen folders for other people to be able to look into.

The one they're talking about does bluetooth. You'd most likely need to have the phone at least long enough to tell it to pair. A wired connection would be much faster.

So, where do I go to find an app that reverse-rootkit's the scanning device?
