Here's how (anyone) can copy from your phone (or other device) http://www.cellebrite.com/ " It performs physical, logical, file system and password extraction of all data (even if deleted) from the widest range of devices including legacy and feature phones, smartphones, portable GPS devices, tablets and phones manufactured with Chinese chipsets." [...] "Physical extraction, decoding and analysis of invaluable data Â Call history, SMS messages, contacts, calendar, email, chat, media files, geo tags, passwords, location information (WiFi, cell tower and navigation applications) GPS fixes etc." The link analysis operates on a 'rich data set'.

No 'spoiler' as, it has Been Here since well before this Final Tool: The Death of All Privacy. Arthur C. Clarke w/acolyte collaborator/or versa vice: http://www.amazon.co...ght+of+Other+Days All-glass houses? ... predicted. Already. Just awaiting an Insanely-Grrreatt Ad-blitz to be converted to $B-or-T.

(We could use the reserves earmarked for the impoverished/let more of them freeze during '14-like winters.. they ain't got no PACs--easy.)
