Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics

But yeah, leaving phone at home is best knowing tracking sites like these exist.

It has been know for at least a decade, I think, that the GSM chip could still contact cell towers while the phone was powered off. I’m sure its successor hasn’t lost that capability.
