Another Reason to Hate Cell Phones

We in Hell only wish we had thought of cell phones. From Our perspective, they are one of the most annoying inventions ever created.

• the guy in front of you, driving like a woman-of course he is on a cell phone

• the woman in front of you, driving worse than usual-she is on a cell phone

• who in the Hell are these people talking to at 6 a.m.?

• people who won't stop talking on their damned phone while you are trying to talk to them

• cell phones with the ring tones from Hell ringing during: a movie, dinner, or a lecture

• text messaging. We don't get and hope We never do. BFF, how about KMA!

• once proud men are now tethered to their wives 24-7. How humiliating

• people walking along talking to themselves with their little wireless ear pieces. We don't want to hear about your children, your sex life, your period....

But even better, the government is now using the built-in GPS found in cell phones to track your whereabouts. No thanks.

According to a report in the Washington Post, Federal officials are routinely asking courts to order cellphone companies to furnish real-time tracking data so they can pinpoint criminal suspects.

According to judges and industry lawyers, in some cases judges have granted the requests without requiring the government to demonstrate that there is probable cause to believe that a crime is taking place or that the inquiry will yield evidence of a crime.
