If you have a cellphone you are wearing a wire...

I've been wondering when something like this was going to happen. Getting harassed? Blackmailed? Get the goods on them with your cellphone in your pocket! I've played around with this before. Newer Nokia's have a recording mode that works quite well sitting in your pocket picking up a conversation in a quiet room. Works for a lot more then ratting on anti-terror police. In fact, anti-terror police might find it useful, as stupid criminals are likely to overlook the ubiquitous cellphone while searching for a wire.

My next prediction is that a super sophisticated cellphone will have a security vulnerability that enables me to hack in, turn on the mic, and spy on you...
