When Your Conspiracy Theory Is True

"At this point, most Americans have acknowledged — and many have de facto accepted — that the government can access our personal data. And sometimes it takes a personal case to understand just how intimate that snooping can get.

What we haven't known — and couldn't quite tell from the 2013 Snowden leak — are the technological details of that surveillance. Nor have we understand how pervasive that technology had become, at even the most local of levels.

Today, we understand quite a bit more thanks to one man in particular. His name is Daniel Rigmaiden, and while he's not exactly the knight-in-shining-armor type (he's a convicted felon who spent years building an almost-air-tight tax fraud scheme), he is the one who figured out how the government tracks us using our cell phones, despite their best efforts to keep it hidden: the Stingray.

This week, we'll tell his story on our show. It's the first full telling since the drama went down.

On a partner episode with Radiolab, we're telling another, related story from a very different angle: the sky.

We think these podcasts will change the way you look at your phone, whether you're an incredibly savvy tax fraudster or someone who just happens to notice when your phone mysteriously drops to the 2G network in the middle of a big city. Tell us what you think: on Facebook, on Twitter, or by email at notetoself@wnyc.org, ."

Only when the proof was beyond a doubt did people reluctantly admit he was a crook and a liar and more....point is when governments lie to us regularly, they leave us no choice but to use our logic and knowledge as a counter to their lies...because they DO lie when it suits them and we would be fools, as they would like us to be, to believe them or wait for ALL the evidence to be in, because ALL the evidence will NEVER be in...which means what? We must accept their lies?
