Kevin got the word out to us that FBI director Louis Freeh wants to require CellCos to provide the FBI with the location of mobile phone users without a court order or warrant, via a Congressional Appropriations bill. Very scary - Orwellian, as the article points out. The FBI says it would only use it when they suspect a felony is being committed, a human life is in danger, or a certain few other situations. It would also cost billions of dollars. Cavete magnum fratrem!
