Also "They identify tracking devices with GPS detectors."
What is a GPS detector. As one of the comments on that article point out, GPS
signals are everywhere and simply require an appropriate receiver. What is
being "detected"?

It depends on whether you think it may be possible to remotely trigger the
baseband chipset to power up. The baseband firmware is closed, so may be
untrustworthy. In many phones the baseband chip is directly connected to the
battery and uses a software on/off switch, and it's getting more common for the
battery not to be removable. That leaves blocking the radio signal as the
simplest method to be sure.
Paranoid? Perhaps, but not long ago that's what people would say if you
suggested the NSA was doing what we now know it is. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
