Re: GSM was cracked
said by jester121  :You may not be paranoid, but it doesn't mean everyone's not out to get you. oh I'm not saying that I'm not paranoid - I've just given up with the whole "privacy" thing.
various government agencies have passsed so many laws that are an invasion of privacy (the wiretapping "protect america" or whatever - law, for example), that I just now expect that someone is listening to my phone call, and that I probably shouldn't talk about my illegal drug trafficking from Venezuela (just kiddin'!) over the land line or cell phone (prepaid or otherwise).
remember that story about comcast implementing "face recognition technology" into your cable boxes so that they can "open your DVR recordings list to your preferred list of shows". Total BS. It's gotten so rediculous that I don't expect privacy anymore, see?

yes, I have come to expect weird noises on my telephone line, internet connection problems ("unscheduled maintenance"), ususual GSM cell phone static ("the largest All-Digital network"? Ha! My ass it is!), and with anything else electronic, I assume that it is being publicized on the internet as I speak/type.
To me, nothing is "Private", so don't tell anyone anything you don't want the entire country to know, unless it's face-to-face. At first it was creepy to think that someone is listening in on your phone calls, but now when i hear that little clickey noise, I invite them to join the conversation! 
the world (or, at least the U.S. of A) is a messed up place, sometimes.
