Any ideas on this ? I have mine with me all the time but I want to find a way to block it . Any kind of foil or fabric that could block it ? Can the gps part of the phone be deactivated without killing the phone ?
hey now; tracking and unconstitutionally bugging your phone conversations
aren't the only threat, you also got "digital infinity mike" plus remote video
camera activation by any pig or spy agency; remember they ALL have free
unfettered access to the cell phone industry computers, hell, the damnable
bastards practically own the whole bloody thing.
"infinity mike" features empower snoops to electronically send an "off hook"
signal to your phone so the mike picks up any sound within earshot of it.
Effectively the room, vehicle or where ever the phone is located becomes bugged.
remote camera activation: I watched an instructional video made by some cop
dept. in California someplace showing a demonstration of a "suspect" doing
a drug deal in an apartment with the camera activated recording video and
the "infinity mike" transmitting the audio.
cellphone rf jamming devices work good and do the job;
for example here's one good link;
http://buy.ecplaza.net/search/1s1nf20sell/cellular_jammer.htmlbut using the phone requires you turn the jammer
off then turn
it on again when your finished your call. you tell you friends &
associates to leave message and you have a schedule to check
your messages to call them back.
jammers effectively block all cellphones, tracking and surveillance
devices operating in these rf ranges within at least 20 - 30 meters.
they are ideally suited for "onstar" and other spy/tracking systems
planted into vehicles.
I'm looking into publishing complete plans, schematics and instructions
for folks to assemble their own from "off the shelf" electronic parts
and kits which can be assembled.
this is a very valuable asset to protecting your constitutional rights
to privacy.
the first option i tell people of course is to pop out the battery
whenever you don't choose to be tracked & monitored.
again like i explained above set up a schedule with your contacts
so you check your messages and call back.
James Burke of "CONNECTIONS" fame said: "Never in history have
so many people understood so little about so much!"
This is a very hard subject to explain because so much of the public
is completely clueless about how modern technology works.
It's true that cellphone technology was invented, like the telephone
and telegraph before it, not to track/spy on people but to empower
humans to communicate with each other from afar. It's when the
technology gets hijacked and perverted by tyrants that it gets
re-engineered as a weapon against the citizens.
TRIANGULATION:
First generation analog cell systems operated at lower (& safer) VHF
bands and had no built in surveillance capabilities. Cell service providers
could look at the computer logs and ascertain you made/received a call
on a certain date/time/duration but could NOT pinpoint your location;
ONLY that the call was handed off to a specific cell site tower which
positioned the user within range of one or 2 local towers typically
covered an area of a county or say the central region of a city.
Pinpointing a position using this tech. was very manpower intensive
requiring vehicle mounted rf directional equipment with a team of personnel.
Militants on the run used "shoot and scoot" tactics when using a cellphone
to avoid being caught during that era.
Back in the nineties during the sludge willy administration, death squads
from cia client regimes were being trained at the "school of the americas"
to chase down human rights activists and dissidents using teams with vans
and rf direction finding gear.
The transition from analog to digital trunked systems marked the start
of reshaping cellphone tech. into the spy/tracking platform.
2nd generation digital tracking introduced the "trilateration" tech.
with a positional accuracy +/- 50 meters when the central computer
connected with the handset thru MORE than 3 cellsites.
What is "TRILATERATION"?
The simplest possible explanation is an algorithm for computing
the loci where spheres intersect.
Naturally, position accuracy got degraded with fewer cell sites so
with one tower the accuracy was range of a vector several km in
length.
Also during this time frame the cellphone service providers started
supplying cop depts. all over with free laptop celphone interception
units for their squad cars.
3rd generation tracking introduced the embedded GPS chip to the handset.
This technique was called "wireless assisted GPS" location and is included
with cellphones you currenty have on the market.
Position calculation happens in 2 phases: 1st. phase- cell company computer
computes position using trilateration as described above, 2nd phase- calucated
data transmitted to handset microprocessor which then uses the trilateration
data to initialize the GPS microprocessor to compute an accelerated positional
computation. Unlike a conventional handheld GPS unit used by outdoors people
in wilderness areas for navigation the the cellphone GPS can initialize with a
position already computed in approx. 100 meters accuracy diameter so it can continuously
update your position +/- several meters with WAAS enabled and upload the data
to the central realtime tracking database every second.
So what's "WAAS" you ask: Wide area acquisition is intended to be the satellite-
borne successor to the old land based differential-based system.
