Heard on the radio this morning that snowy said the NSA are tapping your phones when they are off [View all]

Powered off...LOL...

Did he really say that? He didn't did he, tell me he didn't

I've been in telecom over 20 years now and this low level IT DBA really should spend more time on the googles finding out how phone networks actually work. I wish somebody would ask him some basic questions. Maybe like, Hey Snowy, what is the difference between CDMA and 4G? How does the NSA get around SRTP encapsulated in a private MPLS VPN? Yo Snowy, for $100 what is Quantico?

BONUS QUESTION! without looking it up with your android, how does this work! Don't just read it and say it is a tap, tell me, how does it work and would you consider it a passive or active device! Fucking Snowy

You prefer obfuscations, the affirming question is valid ... baselining is normal conversation uponit7771 May 2014 #33

The FBI was doing this in 2006. Why wouldn't the NSA be doing the same now? DisgustipatedinCA May 2014 #2

Well, I've actaully tested CALEA functionality with Quantico as part of my job snooper2 May 2014 #5

Your OP insinuates that it's not technically feasible to tap a powered off cell phone DisgustipatedinCA May 2014 #9

I guess "tap" has a different meaning to Snowy than I have snooper2 May 2014 #12

I know you already know this, but I'll post it anyway. DisgustipatedinCA May 2014 #13

No response to this post I see tkmorris May 2014 #28

You are correct ROFL snooper2 May 2014 #32

I think the difference lies in the fact that the FBI or whomever has to turn the phone on before it okaawhatever May 2014 #29

Exactly hootinholler May 2014 #14

Subliminally broadcasting? yallerdawg May 2014 #24

Right. Just like they're not watching you on your camera when it is "off." Oh, but they are. dballance May 2014 #31

police can track em when they are off 2pooped2pop May 2014 #35

tracking a phone is different from tapping a phone snooper2 May 2014 #36
