Cell Phones and Privacy

Where pay phones used to secure are anominity, now some are trying to take that away from us. Its argued that by being able to track phone calls or calling patterns that the government can protect its people from terrorists or other organized threats. There is some validity in that because it would be hard to organize a massive attack without being able to contact others from far away. Wouldn't terrorists (even if just the smart ones) be able to get around this? If all calls could be tracked and they terrorists knew it they would probably avoid using that means of communication. In that sense, tracking calls would only bother people who weren't actually doing anything. Let me tell you, there are some legitamit reasons to want to protect your identity for innocent people as well.  The person who wants to find out some information by calling Alcoholics Anonymous or the woman who wants to access information through Planning Parenthood, for instance, might be embarraced by the fact that they have to call. Fearing that somehow, someone might know their idenity, that person might neglect to attain the care that they need. Not everyone who is doing something privately is doing something wrong, and chances are the people who are doing something wrong are going to do it with ot without phones. People have the right to remain anonymous and private.
