So each of these is in theory connected to several towers and microcells. Assuming they all connect to the same provider, how in the hell does it not raise eyebrows that a 1000+ phones are sitting powered on 24/7 at one location? I'd assume that many towers could provide location data down to a couple of feet accuracy. Seems like someone was purposely ignoring this farm.
