I'm not surprise but it will be interested how this story developes. Who's spying on the American people... guess?

i read about this. even though some of those towers are there to provide coverage for the otherwise 'dead' zones of cell-phone reception (booster towers) it bothers me that communications and and data are so easily interceptible.

Shouldn't this be in P&R?

On a somewhat related note, one of my neighbors installed a funky looking antenna at the back of his garage...



...and it looks like it's facing my way.

I wonder if this is related to the Monsanto discussions that dJJ has been having with me...?

Nope because I don't do PF. Looks as if your neighbor doesn't have cable, can't blame them really. I'm just say in', no pillow talk over the phone with folks you aren't married to.

So that's a TV antenna? I mean, I suspected that it was, but I haven't seen one like that before.

It could be a base station antenna but in all likelihood, it's a TV digital antenna. We have a lot of these where I live. Even so... Filling in dead zones should require any company to unencrypted phone calls. Plus wouldn't it be logical that cell/telecommunication would put in their own booster / repeater equipment?

Well, in any event, I turn the volume on my porn really, really low just in case.
