OT - the heuristics of privacy
Interesting tech news about Stingray surveillance. I wonder if there is some way to detect that an intruder has captured your signal. You can test for capture and cause them to power down by having someone near you call 911. Apparently authorities have to let EMS calls access the real network. I think black hats.... umm not so much. http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/technology/government-surveillance-rules-rcmp-cs... Russell Sent from mobile.

It'd be interesting to see what an open monitoring network might reveal. Here's a Raspberry Pi - Stingray Detector that uses a Raspberry Pi along with a SIM 900 module to monitor local cell towers: <https://hackaday.io/project/15711-raspberry-pi-stingray-detector> -- Scott Elcomb @psema4 http://www.pirateparty.ca/
