The kid did much less than I would have. I would have given it back to them after whacking it about 5 times with a 6 lb. hammer. A person could always say he didn't know what it was.

Moral of the story: When such a device is found, don't post about it on the net. Just stick it on a bus, plane, boat, whatever and let them chase it down. Nice to know big bro is keeping tabs on us Unbelievable.

I'd agree with you but I don't see any smoking gun in this article. The ability to put one these on car without warrant is tool they can use in situations where time is a factor. If they are abusing htis power they need to be stopped, I take particular exception to the fact they can walk onto private property and do it.

I would have been creative with it, maybe shipped it to them. He's coming in the FRONT DOOR!

Since possession is 9/10'ths of the law why not reprogram it and sell the thing... bet they cost a fortune. Guess he better look for other things. bet his phone is tapped too. or house .. I think I'd get them scanned.

Wow...I never knew all of them were legal. Very scary.

Yes they would and have squawked about this type of thing not even to this degree! Yet this is ok because there is a Dem sitting in the WH?
