NSA and wireless carriers: Who betrayed us?

[TexasThoughtCriminal]

I know AT&T, SBC and Verizon rolled over for the NSA and turned over their landline records, but did they sell their wireless data too?

I'm looking for a new wireless service and would rather not give business to anyone who doesn't honor my privacy. I can choose between Cingular, T-Mobile and Sprint. Any suggestions?

1. AT&T and Cingular merged.

I really doubt that any wireless carrier is going to be able to keep the NSA out.

2. Tell me about it... I'm sure the Secret Service has my number.

I used my cell phone last year at Camp Casey in Crawford while chimpy was there.

4. Thanks for the link.

I'd missed that other thread. Very interesting... and confirms that we should just assume our lives are an open book. In this electronic age, like it or not, I really don't see how anyone can seriously think there's any kind of "privacy" to be had.
