"Interpol and the German Bank, FBI and Scotland Yard, Flensburg and the BKA, have our data there," Power Plant sang in 1981 in computer world. It sounded incredible at that time, later threatening, and now it sounds ridiculous. For the reality is much more banal. Our phones are the ones who most betrayed of our habits. The Chaos Computer Club called the small, powerful computers in our pockets so already "tracking bugs."
In a report submitted to the Federal Constitutional Court has the club in June 2009 described in theory, what information transmitted in the so-called retention, and what these facts tell everything can be.
