Yes it is legit.  If you follow the links to the training site offered
by the people who make it you will find all sorts of people are
using it: ATF, Customs, Law Enforcement, Attorneys, Private
Security, exactly how and why I leave to your imagination.

How long before school principals with locker keys have them?

I sent the info to a friend who works in a legal office and she was
very grateful and it generated an inner office alert memo.

I don't use them, I hate talking on the phone!
And I don't own a strawberry, a blackberry, a blueberry a fluffernutter or any of that other stuff either.

Personally, I see no issue with it. Law enforcement at the highest levels has had this technology for years; and they don't need a device to access your phones. A court order is all that is needed. Hell, under new laws, they don't even need a court order now...that's only needed if you are arrested and they want to use the information for legal reasons.

If you have nothing to hide...what's the big deal?

Status: offline 		That's what I was getting at. My phone sets on my desk here at work, all over my house with people in and out. I rarely think to delete anything from it, either call history or text messages. I don't care who sees what. If they should see something they don't like, wellllllllllll then they have only themself to blame!

Apparently some of us value our privacy more then others.
 
I probably will never own a cell phone. I'd rather not carry a tracking device with me… even if they are not now, I’m betting they will be.
