Tracking people by their cell phone... without a warrant.

From an Electronic Frontier Foundation alert:

Agreeing with a brief submitted by EFF, a federal
judge forcefully rejected the government's request to track the location of a mobile phone user without a warrant.

It is disturbing to realize that the government not only asked a judge for this, but that the judge's ruling represents a change; judges had previously granted such requests without any probable-cause requirement.
