In a different Usenet Group there was also a comment questioning
the rationale of the protection. My answer was that e.g. the
location of the CEO of a large company, if that could be obtained
from the location of his mobile phone, could under circumstances
be a valuable information for the rival companies. Certainly, only
a fairly small percentage of the whole of mobile phone users would
need protection from tracking. But that there are some civilian
persons who do sometimes need such protection seems to be entirely
clear.
Except of course those CEOs are so adicted to their mobile phones, that
going without (as removing the battery would force them to do) would
completely incapacitate them.
Also despite what you see on NCIS, it is a bit harder than that to get
the locationof the phone, especially for a civilian organization.
So a better idea is to use cheap burner phones (eg 7-11) without any GPS
and without registering it.
