Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you.
Telemarketers have been able to profile household movement patterns
very well. It only takes a half-dozen calls to establish very accurate
occupancy patterns for a large percentage of households. Another
factor is your cellphone. If you have a smart phone, your movements
are being tracked and reported to the government and everybody willing
to spend a few dollars with Google, Apple or Facebook.
