Anyone can, with far less sophisticated tools, illegally enter your house.
That doesn't justify it.

I am quite familiar with cell phone location.  I worked for awhile for one
of the key patent holders on the technology and built many of the systems
that locate cell phone users for some of the major carriers.

But if my arguments are emotional non-cogent knee jerk ractions, why is it
that you are saying things like "for crying out loud" and trying to dismiss
my argument with terms like "hogwash" instead of using the Constitution
itself as a yardstick?  I've set a higher standard than that.  If you can't
keep up, I'll understand.
