Maybe you're fine. But what happens when your aging mom or dad gets a restriction on their driver's license preventing them from driving in the evening hours?
Tell Mommy she can't drive at night with her cellphone or the guv'mint will know she's breaking the law and may lose her license.
But then, do you really want Mum to drive at night without a cell phone?
If mom or dad no longer have the capability to drive in the evening or at night, they should not be driving in the evening or at night.
There are certainly some paranoid people here.
And yet, they are on the internet, posting on boards...don't they realize online activity can also be traced?
Maybe because right now you are able to play by the rules. You don't see yourself as ever NOT being a person who plays by the rules because maybe your a good law-abiding citizen.
Thats great but while YOU have no intention on changing who you are the laws are in a constant & fluid state of changing. More laws, more ways to break a law, more of our rights being taken away.
There are things we do every day that in other countries are considered criminal.
Right now we (barely) have due process, there is such thing as "probable cause". If we were to enter a state of Martial Law even YOU could be considered a criminal.
Right now everything you do is being sorted & organized into a database. Databases that are nortoriously being hacked into & accessed. If the government can know your routine; ANYBODY can know your routine.
And there is always the potential that we may, within our lifetime, have a government that you will not want to know your routine.
THAT, I think, is the gravest concern.
I am not a conspiracy theorist; as a matter of fact, I've spent too many hours arguing with some of the more preposterous devotees of CTs.
However, power is intoxicating and it does corrupt. We see it on smaller scales every day in our towns, states, and federal governments. We don't know what the future will bring.
Mine too. At home. At home. etc. And I usually don't take it when I go to the store anyway.
I have several times LOST my phone in the house. What I needed was a way to ping my own phone.
There is a way. My friend lost his iPhone in a conference room at work. We couldn't find it anywhere, and thirty-five people had been in the room. He found the thing online that pings the phone, and we could hear it coming from a corner. It had fallen out of the pocket of his jacket, which was hung on a rack, and fell behind some boxes stacked near the rack.
When I lose my phone in the house, I call it from my landline.

I got a cheaper second cell, one of those flip phones, and have located the other one that way, at least IF its rapidly drying up battery isn't dead. Yes, it is possible to have lost TWO cell phones....
