This is scary and will be interesting to follow, how much privacy do we have anymore. I guess the best we could hope for is for some of the agencies to forget to pay the bills as referenced in this article from earlier this year, where the wiretaps were lost as the FBI forgot to pay the bill. BD 
It was disturbing enough when the government was just listening in. Now privacy advocates are afraid the government may be tracking our every move through our cell phones. In November of 2007, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to find out how widespread such tracking is. The DOJ didn't hand over the data, so now the ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) are taking the DOJ to court to force it to comply with the request. The ACLU was spurred into action following a blog post in The New York Times in which some courts expressed discomfort with the government's use of cell phone tracking data without probable cause.
