Meanwhile, ISPs and mobile data providers sell your cell phone data to 3rd parties all the time to make money. More people keep phones on them than they do cars. Remember when NYT bought data in DC region and could track down secret security guards just by doing simple polygon selections around the WH?

DC for example also pays TENS of millions of dollars to Raytheon for the speed cameras they install only for them to be utterly useless.
