Advanced Tracking Techniques Re: [FedCom] Update: Unknown Frequencies

[Ken]

Remember Kevin Mitnick (computer hacker) &  John Markoff and Tsutomu 
Shimomura's  book "Takedown"...

During the final "take down" chapter of the book --  Mitnick is using a 
cellphone/laptop computer interface to hack into a site & the feds (don't 
call if it was the FBI, USMS, or USSS) are able to track him by first 
finding out what cell tower (lobe of cell tower) his signal is hitting (and 
I'd assume the specific radio frequency & cellphone number/EN code  & than 
with a mobile/portable device they are able to track him down to the 
specific townhouse apartment in a fairly large complex.   Very interesting 
use of technology.
