wanna bet? ever heard of the cops tracking someone's phone with a GPS chip? same as when you dial 911 and they are setup on the E911 system, your location from the GPS chip gets them within 25 feet or so (or tower triangulation for non GPS phones is sometimes a few hundred feet) this puts you on a map so they can locate you if you do not know where you are. how about eaves dropping on a cell phone by remotely turning on the microphone? with the proper warrant they certainly can. older analog cell phones could be picked up on scanners, but not the newer digital ones, but guess what, with the proper warrant the cops simply put your phone EISN into the system and track your GPS and listen to your phone calls, the equipment is expensive, but it really neat to watch (i was at a demo expo with a cop friend,, it was cool) why do you think criminals use disposable cell phones? by the time someone figures out which phone is theirs, it has been ditched and they get another. what parts do you think they use to make them tablets? they are nothing more than the samsung phone on steroids. a lot of same programs and chips, just a bigger screen, battery, and more memory, otherwise not much different than my Samsung Galaxy 3 phone (other than I am running the newest OS and the tablets cannot due to outdated chips and memory)
try reading up on some of this, you would be surprised how good technology can be turned around and bit you in the but. so even if you try and outsmart the system by turning it off, IT can still access the tablet, get your location, and turn on nyour microphone! the same way as i remotely log into other computers to fix programs using
www.logmein.com you just leave your computer on standby and i can wake it, do my stuff, and leave and your monitor never even comes on. what you think of the "off" switch on a tablet is actually just a low power standby, and since you cannot get at the battery to remove, they are always available if IT wants to access them. the only way to protect any cell phone (or data equipped) tablet is to remove the battery so their is no power source.
