Federal officials are routinely asking courts to order cellphone companies to furnish real-time tracking data so they can pinpoint the whereabouts of drug traffickers, fugitives and other criminal suspects, according to judges and industry lawyers.I literally don't know what to say anymore.

Privacy advocates fear such a practice may expose average Americans to a new level of government scrutiny of their daily lives.
