Well, I do know the government has devices like that. What is it called, something like Stingray I think. The article quotes some source as saying it's probably criminals because the government can simply obtain the data directly from the cellular carriers with a warrant (LOL, how quaint). To me though, there's no distinction between criminals and government. It's all one big criminal enterprise. Plus the NSA is already harvesting every single bit that traverses the Internet or radio networks.
