Room 164A? keep getting hits on a Mexican hitman/torturer. Interesting stuff, but I believe room 641A is what your after.
Always assume someone is watching, ATT, Verizon, ect.

At least on the iphone you needed physical access.
androids are even better... don't need phys access to root them

LoL. I have a Gov issue Blackberry that I use for 100% of everything. I never had an expectation of privacy in my life anywhere at anytime, so it was an easy choice for me to make.
What I find interesting is most people expect privacy outside of their own head. Truth is, that may not even be off limits today.

Yes, because your new Droid (from Obama-loving, multi-agency funded Google) isn't also pre-pwned. Unless (and probably even if) you're getting a Jitterbug, they have access.
Want privacy? Run some WD-1 wire between some TA-312s (or TA-1s if you travel light).
(Note to normal humans: "pwned" is hacker/leet/nerd for "hacked")

Marc: it isn't. The government now holds people in jail for thought crimes, as Obama has admitted in press conferences last year.

Speaking of thought crimes, I read an article somewhere that they're coming up with stuff that reads your thoughts. That kind of true thought crime will probably be a reality in the next 10-15 years.

Then we can have pre-crime arrests.

Where's my Minority Report!!!
I already have technology at work that allows me to read magnetic hard drives in computers without a hard connection from almost 100 feet away.
I don't know about mind read since some people obviously aren't thinking. Seems to be a stretch.

I've never thought I was safe from the government, anywhere at any time. I guess that's why news like this doesn't surprise me. It's also why I usually use my real name when posting comments on news sites and the like. I figure that anyone of import who wants to ID and get me can pretty much do so at will. So, other than avoiding spam, there's not a whole lot of purpose in maintaining a facade of privacy.
I bet that by the time I retire in 20 years, Americans are routinely "disappeared" off the streets, courtesy of state security apparatus. Any idea that we are free, simply because we're not in prison, is purely illusory. Roberts' opinion in the ACA case proved that.
I love my country but am disgusted by my government, which is too big, too powerful inside its own borders, and too unanswering to the governed. And even if the people were of a mind to change things, technology gives the edge to the government in ways that it never did in the past. Of course, most of our fellow citizens are too busy drooling over the next iPhone to care that it's monitored, and have zero appetite for sacrificing comfort for freedom. So, we're f***.
Happy 2014.
