Can you be found through GPS on your cell phone? - Straight Dope ...

To the extent that:
1. Everything is transmitted in some digital form.
2. It is transmitted over the air (hint: your landline goes over microwave towers.

Anybody who can grab the signal and really wants to know what's in it can.

Even if you string a "secure" cable and hard-wire your gear so it can connect ONLY via that cable, anyone clever enough to physically access the cable, has your info.

All this noise about "internet privacy" is a joke - anything you transmit is known to anyone who wants to know.

Get over it - privacy is dead. When you need to pass nude pat giggling morons to get on a plane, you should know the battle's over, and decency and common courtesy lost.
