I've been living in a vacuum because I've never heard of this. I went
on a few sites and looked at some of this and it appears that the only
way someone can do this is if the target phone has Internet
capability. Is that correct?
Not necessarily. A cell phone communicates by encoding digital
information onto a RF carrier. At least in theory that communication
can include everything from the strength of the received signal, the
picture you just took of a car, or your location to within 30 feet and
direction of movement.

Also can someone tell if another person
has loaded the software necessary to do this onto their phone? Can a
phone without GPS capabilities be hacked in this fashion?

This can be done very crudely by the wireless company by determining
relative signal strenghts of the signal at the nearest towers.

This really
has me thinking now. Is there nothing sacred anymore?

Mom's Apple Pie. Who knows what is in a hot dog? Baseball is
dominated by self agrandizing show-offs.

As far as a supposed right to privacy, the Conservative members of the
SCOTUS have already decreed that does not exist.

Thanks for any
information. Lenny
