[no description provided]

For more, please see "In Supreme Court Brief, Technologists Warn Against Warrantless Access to Cell Phone Location Data." [Update: Susan Landau has a great blog post "Phones Move – and So Should the Law" in which she frames the issues at hand.]

I'm pleased to be one of the experts involved.
