Schneier's articles scare me sometimes. Well, maybe I'm disturbed more than frightened by his stuff. That being said, I still enjoy reading his stuff. He's a good writer who discusses contemporary topics in personal privacy and computer security. I've studied some computer forensics (one of my favorite university professors has taken up full-blown research in this area), and the research firm that gave presentations in our class was/is chomping at the bit for just such a device as Schneier's article describes. I seem to agree with some of the other comments that this gadget's existence is independent of whether the phone's software is Open Source, but I could be enlightened some more.

champing at the bit Posted Sep 6, 2008 18:39 UTC (Sat) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link] It's "champing" at the bit. Chomping is biting down hard, whereas champing is gnashing, which is what a horse does to the bit when he's anxious to go and the rider won't let him.
