Today Show covered the cell phone privacy story

The Today Show just did a segment on the cell phone privacy scam. Katie and Matt had been promoting it through the show.

There wasn't much new in the actual piece, although it is clear that people are freaked out when they learn about that cell phone records can easily be purchased. And, we learned that Chuck Schumer is apparently going to finally propose legislation today. Why that took so long is a good question.

After the report, Matt said it was "pretty spooky." That's one of the most perceptive comments he's ever made.

One of MSNBC's blog, Red Tape Chronicles, has a report on the issue which links to AMERICAblog's posting about obtaining General Clark's cell phone calls.
