Abstract:
This book explores this unprecedented threat to privacy from three distinct but overlapping perspectives: the technical, the legal, and the social. The book first describes cellular technology and cellular surveillance. It then examines current legislation and Supreme Court jurisprudence that form the framework for discussions about rights in the context of cellular surveillance. Lastly, it addresses the social impact of surveillance on individual users.
