Comment Not the plaque cleaner, please! (Score 2) 237

Similar sound waves are used by dentists to remove plaque from teeth.

Um, I hear those sound waves just fine (high frequency sensitive). My dentist had to give up using it on me.

If this sounds anything like that horrid sonic plaque cleaner, I'm going to have to move to my zombie apocalypse survival compound in Montana. Too bad, I was saving it for the actual zombie apocalypse.

No eavesdropping is done. All we need is the metadata. That's something that any law enforcement agency can obtain without a warrant.

What does it prove? It could prove to be a huge embarrassment to the target, which is why the target needs to be someone who claims that the metadata doesn't tell anyone anything about your personal life.

I'm not just talking about, "You made 32 calls last year to a phone sex line, each lasting approximately 35 minutes". How about, "I see you made a couple of short calls to a gynecologist. Setting up appointments, perhaps? Then, about 4 weeks later, I see that you spoke with an oncologist for 20 minutes, followed by a 45 minute call to an attorney specializing in wills and probate. Is there something we should know, Senator Feinstein?"
