The daughter and her husband were in a Verison store and left when they didn't get waited on. They later called Verison and they said, I see you were in one of our stores earlier today. They didn't use their phones while they were there.

Life's too short to use old sandpaper.
There was an article in the news yesterday regarding employees of Ring (an Amazon company) accessing video of people's homes without their knowledge or permission.
The paranoia doesn't belong to just Big Brother anymore.
It's the megacompanies trying to take targeted advertising to a level on par with that shown in the movie, "Minority Report".
"Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible." -HGR
I need to have my eyeglass prescription checked - came in here to suggest that at least live mice don't smell as bad as dead ones!
it really bothers me that ones privacy can be compromised so easily, mics, smartphones etc and we are not concerned enough to stop it. It is big brother and George Orwell was cognizant enough of the loss of privacy to write a book. What makes me shake my head are individuals who say don't care their privacy is being invaded.
They'll care when it comes back and bites them in the butt. They may have a hard time figuring out how something was found out because they are so nonchalant with the technology.
Maybe those of you with home security and automation systems should watch this episode of a show here in Canada called Marketplace.

Just so the "Off" switches really work.
Keep the GPS, Data, Wifi and bluetooth off all the time until you need it. That way the only thing they can track is by cell tower triangulation.
If you are on an Android go to you google preferences and turn off all the tracking.
And even if you do all of this they still track you by the apps you have in your phone. So apps lie and collect information in the background. Some apps leave traces behind when you uninstall them that report back to the mother ship.
I call my phone my govt tracker, for good reason.
Surreptitious crypto currency mining scripts like Coinhive are the latest thing to look out for and block. Some sites (eg: Salon.com) are will ask if it's ok to run a Bitcoin script in exchange for blocking ads, others aren't so transparent.
Tell them you are going to blow up the Whitehouse, that should do it.
