Don't be alarmed, but the FBI can turn on ANY phone AND activate your camera whenever they want to. AND, you won't have a clue that it's being done. No warrant necessary, thanks to your previous cheering of the Patriot Act and the NDAA, which most of your elected slugs happily approved (you know- the guy YOU thought was going to "change things"....LOL) If you use ANY electronic device, NO MATTER WHAT the manufacturer or service provider says, you will be recorded. Not just "logged", but RECORDED. Welcome to the Brave New World. Keep cheering.
