in one sense, the gps device is actually seizing the information itself. when we opposed the grant of certiorari we added an additional second question. we said that if the court were to grant cert, it ought to grant on the second issue as well. by the act of attaching the gps tracking device to his vehicle without his consent, that is a separate property based interest. did they sees his vehicle and then use it as a transmitting begin device against him, and should the result in a trigger exclusion, the fruit of the poison tree? one of the arguments is, you may understand that you are never can observe you on a public street when you leave the house. what you cannot expect is that your neighbor will attach a gps device under your car and used three satellites to track your every movement. in that sense, i will close the discussion by saying in the effort to show how different this technology is from the use of a beeper or the use of binoculars are whatever, a work in progress brief will be submitted. in 1978, the u.s. department state lost the navigationa

part of the issue is whether a gps device is different from a beeper. a deeper is good for 100 yards. as the actual visual tracking. you have to have a human actually doing this. in one sense, the gps device is seizing the information itself when we opposed the grant of cert, we added a conditional question. if the court were to grant cert, it should grant on the second question, which was whether the government violated fourth amendment rights of by the act of attacking be gps tracking device to his vehicle without his consent. that is a separate property- based interest in that -- did they seize his vehicle and used it as a transmitting device against him. in terms of, one of the arguments is that you may understand your neighbor can observe on a public street when you leave the house. what you cannot expect is that your neighbor will attach a gps device under your car and use three satellites to track your movements. >> you must live in maryland. >> [laughter] and in that sense, i will close the discussion that by saying in the effort to show how dif

in terms of tracking down these vehicles, at least one of the rental companies doesn't have gps capability to the truck so you can't simply find where they are. they're going to have to search to find them. no word is outow but the good news is authorities have been getting ready for this. >> let me bring in brian for another note here. there has been a lot of concern about a home grown terrorist but here we're talking about people coming into the united states and it seems more coordinated. >> in fact, it seems to be connected to whaha they call central al qaeda either in afghanistan or pakistan. three operatives supposedly arriving in this country sometime in mid-august and they had been on the lookout for that. at least three, perhaps more. >> okay, and jon karl, up on capitol hill what have congressmen been told about this? >> all we know is the top leadership in the house and the senate have been briefed on this. don't know further details on this. it doesn't appear the briefing has gone beyond them. we spoke to other senior members who say they have not heard anything about it yet. >

part of that had the military concerned that maybe it would interfere with the signals of the gps of the military. general shelton said maybe he was pressured to change his testimony. well, now, what is george soros' role in lightsquared. >> while other people have been getting out of a hedge fund that is essentially behind this, george soros has invested in harbinger hedge fund and also a lot of the nonprofits that george soros has backed in the past has also essentially gone to bat for lightsquared when it comes to regulations because, you know, there are some in the gps industry, particularly in the part of the gps spectrum that would be impacted -- that would impact military broadband, they say that could foul up the gps for our military satellites, maybe not a good idea to turn that thing on. >> darrell issa's committee is investigating. they're going to figure out how deep these ties go back because a lot of those e-mails going back and forth talk about how much money they'll be giving to the obama campaign come this cycle. >> they talk about campaign donations and then they ta
