Feds: We don't need a warrant to track your cell phone usage

How scary is THIS? The Obama Department of Justice looks like it could get WORSE than Bush's on some civil liberties issues, like claiming it doesn't need a search warrant to get your cell phone call records from your provider?

Here's the nut graf quote:
"An individual has no Fourth Amendment-protected privacy interest in business
records, such as cell-site usage information, that are kept, maintained and used
by a cell phone company," (Justice Department lawyer Mark) Eckenwiler wrote in his brief.

Yep, that's worse than Bush's DOJ.
