Cell Phone Interception At Def Con 95
ChrisPaget writes "I'm planning a pretty significant demonstration of GSM insecurity at Defcon next week, where I'll intercept and record cellular calls made by my attendees, live on-stage, no user-input required. As you can imagine, intercepting cellphones is a Very Big Deal in the eyes of the law; this blog post is an attempt to reassure everyone that their privacy is being taken seriously despite the nature of the demo. I'm not just making it up either — the EFF have helped significantly with the details."

"HELLO?! WHAT?! YEAH! I'M AT DEFCON. Yeah. Some guy is giving some demo now. No, it's rubbish. What? No. Nobody know's I'm a Fed. Right. OK. Got to go."

Thankfully we have a 2nd amendment right [xkcd.com] to possess encryption ;)
