Sorry but I would need a few more details before I believe that is what happened in case you mentioned. I suspect they had more reason than he was a Muslim to track him. It is not that hard to cry victim these days and a lot of people are so willing to believe anything they hear if it supports their worldview that you really don't need evidence to back it up.
Right now I don't see a real threat but from this, give some real evidience and that would change. The crime these guys committed on the other hand is a real threat. Home invasion is an incredible dangerous crime where families are attacked in their own home while they are sitting around watching American Idol. Sorry I am more scared of the idea that a group of violent men with guns will kick in my front door and take me a my family prisoner than I am that the government is going to try and start tracking me. One is something I hear happening every night on the news while the other is something I only see in bad movies.

the main issue is that these devices are being placed without a warrant with the excuse being that "the cars are traveling on public spaces therefore they are in the public domain". sorry, but that is a bullshit reason to invade someone's privacy. once again, if the threat is real, get a warrant. the cops and the FBI already get practically unlimited power to wiretap, why do they need unlimited power to physically track us too? checks and balances exist for a reason, and no excuse is good enough to take away these rights.
