   Of course, what you're talking about are the 'voice-related' cellular   
   signals, where I agree with you that the ability to track the voice part of   
   the cellular system is the same for all phones, but what's different is the   
   ability of others to track you based on the many different types of   
   non-voice-related differences in the cell phones themselves.   
      
   There's no sense guessing.   
   We'll just have to wait for the phone information to be public knowledge.   
      
   What I will say is that anyone who commits a crime while carrying a   
   cellphone, is not all that smart, unless they felt an untoward sense of   
   security about using that cellphone, especially during and even /after/   
   committing the crime.   
      
   It's my premise that it's even worse if it's a so-called smartphone.   
      
   Only someone who merely /felt/ safe from prying eyes, but who was not   
   actually safe from prying eyes, could possibly do such a stupid thing.
