DIY cellphone tracker
The world might not be ready for engineer and avid DIYer Slava Persion — through step-by-step instructions he shows us how to make our very own cellphone tracking device. "Anyone with a programming and electronic background can do it" he says, which pretty much eliminates almost everyone right off the bat. We're not even going to try to describe the method, better to check it out on his website. He's concerned about cellphone tracking's privacy infringement issues, but he avidly adds one positive application of cell phone tracking: "Hostage situations, when there is no visability [sic] but the bad guy is using a cell phone. The sniper can then easily pin point the location of his cell phone and fire a few rounds to the right and the left of the phone." Um, that's exactly what we were thinking. He site also includes experiments called Sound Pain and Fun With Microwave, and he gave a lecture at the 10th annual Information Warfare Conference about electromagnetic weapons. No doubt this guy's gonna be running the DOD soon — we're going to stop writing now, ditch our cellphones and run very far away.
