Default News Reporters are Dumb

It amazes me to see the stupidity of reporters and news organizations or w/e the hell you call them by reporting on stories such as this:

Thank you for letting more people know about this technology now they can look into it and use it too!

Drunk bitches at parties don't care, you are only putting your number in their phone.

Except the story shows you like 4 different sites were you could go to do this. It also explains how easy it is to do so, and then gives the most retarded tips on how to avoid this.

Basically the story promotes the wrong type of awareness, fails to reach the target audience properly, and accidentally advertises websites for people looking to do this sort of thing.

So that's why you had my phone when you randomly visited...

Unfortunately for you, I can remove the battery!

I always been very aware of this type of technology, since cell phones first became marketable. The FBI, CIA, NSA, and excreta are the ones who started to accesses this technology awhile back. Basically several local criminal groups across the nation thought it would be easier to carry a “mobile phone” around and not getting caught “red handed,” with these devices. Boy, were they wrong; when the FBI started to round them up.

Actually some of this technology is just the cheap knock off’s of past endeavors into this field. Some things can be taken even further then what they reported, but of course I know you can imagine how far.

I can see your point about it being a bad approach of reporting this problem, but I doubt it will change anything about it being used by the prying public. You can pretty much search in the right places and come up with more then a dozen sites by the end of the day. However I do know that if you do get caught using this type of technology by our local U.S. government on the wrong person, you probably won’t see the light of day.

Yes I know anyone can look it up on the web but some people probably haven't even thought of that and now they have been informed by the media.

^ sorry i couldn't help myself

interesting story - did you also know that if you locked your keys in your car, and your buddy has an extra set, call him/her and if it is the electronic button kind, the signal can go through your cell phones and unlock your car if you point your phone at the door?

i didn't believe it at first, but i swear it works.
