Q1. Last week it was reported that the NSA had (secretly) singled out AT&T for special praise in terms of the close cooperation AT&T gave in helping the NSA obtain phone records. According to the NSA, AT&T had gone above and beyond other telcos in this regard. Does this change your view of AT&T?

Q2. Cell phone trackers allow the user to know the location of someone (else's) cell phone at all times. Law enforcement uses them more and more as their price (and size) have dropped dramatically over the past year or two. They now cost around $2400. Which of these do you think should be allowed to own and use a cell phone tracker?
