After Web uproar, feds reclaimed magnetic tracker found under car
“Several days ago a 20-year-old student discovered a GPS tracking device hidden on his car.
After his friend posted a picture of it online, speculating about its ties to a secret FBI investigation, the feds themselves came a-knockin', according to Wired.com. They wanted their toy back.”
AND Something else to think about…
“What's impressive is how quickly Afifi got an identification of the gadget by crowdsourcing it on the Web.
On the flipside, that kind of exposure isn't good PR for the FBI. Surely the revelation of the magnetic tracker will cause many people to check under their own cars. Like many noble efforts to keep us safe from terrorism, this one may be turning out to not be so effective. After all, those who already know they're involved in illegal activity probably check their cars every day, rain or shine.”
