Eye-opening research by Christopher Soghoian on government surveillance requests received by ISPs and phone companies in the U.S.:
Sprint Nextel provided law enforcement agencies with its customers’ (GPS) location information over 8 million times between September 2008 and October 2009. This massive disclosure of sensitive customer information was made possible due to the roll-out by Sprint of a new, special web portal for law enforcement officers.
(You may recall Soghoian’s name from his Northwest Airlines boarding pass generator three years ago.)
