Smithee, I have long known that use of cell or cordless phones is tantamount to broadcasting. It is one of the reasons we admonish physicians not to dictate their patient reports into cell or cordless phones. Still, many persist in doing this.

Until very recently, I used an old-fashioned plug-into-the-wall phone and, other than the obvious exception of a cell phone, have never owned a cordless phone.

Your point re calling patterns rather than call content is well taken. I still see potential for official abuse of such information, some of which I noted in previous posts to MulhollandDrive. - Holly

The phone numbers called on cell phones are listed on the bills. Ditto the out of area code phone numbers called by land line phones.

Who else has access to these phone numbers?

And what can happen if others use the numbers they find...be it at their work, or wherever...

Especially when any one can check addresses, etc if one has the phone number....

The government is not the only entity that should be of concern...
