Yes, appalling yet not surprising. Decades ago, John Poindexter got credit for dreaming up a program called "T.I.A." meaning "Total Information Awareness." As I very, very vaguely think I recall, even a congress at that time liked it, then they or another one, wait, liked it? or just considered it seriously....then it was rejected....cough cough, supposedly.

It's alive, never mind the name of the program's been supposedly rejected. I can, when I have time find a quote by a former NSA-head guy that said, essence, NOT quote, "I" or he said "we're" going to know what you buy, think, read..." stuff like that.

No wonder the phone companies are pushing! pushing hard sometimes for any customers that have old flip-phones to upgrade to I-phones! Uh huh...

The GPS fidelity in the $32M F-15E that I flew was good up to about 20ft. If the cops had a 20ft radius to inspect at a football game, you'd have between 50 and 100 people to inspect. Therefore, the GPS data has to be even tighter than that, probably down to inches, and that's the commercial version. I'm appalled.
