Government Claims Unlimited Right To Cell Phone Tracking

Many survival minded individuals, including myself, worry about the being tracked through an RFID tag or a National ID. Those are very real issues unfortunately the government can already track you…through your cell phone.
Authorities say they have evidence that Luis Soto was near a bank that was robbed in Berlin, Conn. Was there an eyewitness? No.
Soto was reportedly betrayed by his cell phone. Federal authorities sought reams of records from phone companies. They said the data — which lists which cell towers handled certain calls — revealed that Soto was not only close to the bank, but he was close to other suspects in the robbery.
Should law enforcement agencies be able to obtain this sort of information without a warrant? That’s a question that will soon be debated in a U.S. District Court in Connecticut.
Defense lawyers and advocacy groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation say the way the government obtained the cell information constitutes an unreasonable search and seizure.
“It really is a search, a modern-day search,” said David McGuire, an attorney with the Connecticut chapter of the ACLU. “It’s not really any different in our perspective than … [police] going in and searching a location without a warrant.”
But while Americans might reasonably expect that the government can’t eavesdrop on conversations without a warrant, law enforcement officials say people have no reasonable expectation that their cell phone’s whereabouts is a private matter.

Do not bring your cell phone to meet with a person you do not want to be publicly associated with.
Do not bring your cell phone to pick up survival supplies from army surplus or gun shops. This can automatically get you added to a watch list.
Do not ever bring your cell phone to your survival retreat. These cell tower records are kept for many years and they will go back through them to find your bug out location.
Shutting your phone off does not protect you as the phone can still be tracked. Many people remove the battery but the phone may have an internal capacitor. Play it safe and leave your phone at home.

I have three of these water filtration bottles. One in the truck, one in the jeep and keep one in the cabin. You can fill it up from the bottom and filter water immediately by simply squeezing the bottle.
This little water filter kept me going last winter when my cistern ran dry. Pick one up and throw it in your bug-out bag only $19.99. Great for filtering captured rainwater from your roof!Survival Poll
