Srry to burst everyone's bubble. We are just not that important.
But the data itself may be collected by the carrier. And when the government asks, the carrier will have to hand it over.
Again, there are billions of people that have cellphones in the world. The vast majority of the US population has them. The government just does not care to track you. We like to think some one out there is out to get us. That we are special. You and I are nothing to the government. They have zero interest in knowing where you or I go. If you by some chance mange to get flagged by the government, some data analyst getting paid beans may investigate your data along with the 1000's of other red flagged individuals that popped up during that given 10 minute span. The people that work for the NSA that are employed to do the "tracking" don't even care about you. As long as your not up to something, the system might pick you up and spit you back out before your even done reading this post.
Here is how I look at it:
It's like having library with a list of places every single person in the world has been. It's just to much data to compile, sort, and analyze for something that really has no use. Even if their was some underground government group going through those lists, and even if by some 1 in 100000000000 chance they come across your list: Who cares? What are they going to do with it????
Way to much other, real, things to concern our selves with than this silly stuff.
Be logical. There is no big conspiracy.
The SUBJECT was if a signal can be tracked/traced --The answer is YES ,,It did NOT refer to everyone being followed by uncle sam every minute ,, ---AND IF (quote if ) uncle sam wants to find you THEY CAN IF THEY WANT--- LOGICAL as easy as can be here
