                                          and with Whom You're
                                               Communicating

                                What would you say if the federal
government was able to: 

                                     track the location of any American
who carries a cellular phone -- even when the phone is
turned off? 
                                     get access to the content of
communications you send over the new Internet-based telephone
systems without having to show probable cause that a crime was
being committed? 

                                That's exactly what the FBI will be able
to do - if the FCC gives it permission.
