Sale of personal phone records raises concerns
The government may not think you're important enough to eavesdrop on your telephone conversations, but did you know that anyone with a passing interest and a few bucks can go online and buy a record of your phone calls? Don't care? Privacy experts say you should.
Suppose your phone logs were used by a stalker or abusive spouse to locate you or your friends or children? Perhaps a dangerous criminal discovers you've been helping the police by snooping into officers' telephone records. Or maybe your unscrupulous boss just wants to find out what you do after work as ammunition to demote or fire you.
