This is exactly why it bothers me that our 'private' information is no longer considered private. Sure, maybe the government has a right to know if I'm calling a terrorist on my cell phone (if I had one) but it's nobody's else's business who I'm calling.

I guess if I'm not doing anything wrong, then I shouldn't worry, huh?

Nothing wrong with continuing on though.

The problem with this goes a lot deeper than finding out your name and address. If someone purchases your phone records, they have just datamined a lot of your life. Your doctors name, your work, your lovers, family, pharmacy, bank, etc. Basically all your contacts. They can then purchase their phone records, and do the same with them.

Incredibly you can purchase the FBi's agent phone records too. Or your local detectives, and find out who they have been talking with. Their informants for example.

I wonder who Tom Delay has been talking to this week?

But if the goverment wants access to these same records, they have to get a court order, (except the NSA).

It is not limited to the U.S. either. A Canadian Privacy Commissions had her entire phone records for her home, and government issue Blackberry handed to her, just to make a point. She was so shocked she was near tears.

As for Verizon, they did go after one of these companies. Once. But they settled out of court. If they had really wanted to make an impact to get this stopped, they would have gone for the conviction to set a legal standard. On top of that, they have been quoted as saying that they are aware of 100 of these companies, but they only went after one.
