On cell phone tracking and free speech suppression

I've been writing articles on the Bill of Rights Defense Committee web site for about two and a half years now. I thought I'd put up the links to the latest posts of mine, in case anyone was interested.

As I say in my post, who are these people that thinks these things up?
