Imagine if a Govt mandated that citizens must at all times carry an electronic device that could locate, record, film, track them, record all their contacts and that it would store all this data in perpetuity for access at any time. Luckily these devices have angry birds so we don't mind.
This experiment was really interesting/alarming, because if indeed those phones had no SIM, no WIFI config and were in "flight" mode - it means that the devices are even so still connecting or detecting WIFI, all points of which Google has (illegally?) mapped with its street cars, and they are capturing incredibly detailed location information. Which means that for those of us that have spent a lot time turning all this **** off, and it takes a huge amount of time- its utterly pointless. There is no escape, beyond not using the device.
