"For geo-locating and tracking purposes the UMTS target phone is 'pushed' onto the GSM-XPZ cell and then placed into blind call mode." [1]

Oh, yeah, of course blind call mode.... wait, what?

Does anyone have more information on "blind call mode"? It sounds like a standard feature of some devices, perhaps where the phone actively transmits as if in a call, but without the user knowing. I definitely don't want a device that will help someone spy on me...

Also it's great that people are beginning to question the values of law enforcement, but don't forget too that good old fashioned criminals will have this tech too. Sometimes, the two will be the same entity.
