            Wasn't some Russian war criminal who went into hiding found because he switched on his mobile phone to make a call?

                    What's interesting is I had the same thought when I was texting to my friend about a first person shooter game and I used the word "kill". The thought I had was NSA flagging this? Most likely yes.
