iFixit, Wired.com undress FBI GPS tracking technology
May 09, 2011 | For right -->
Back in 2005, an environmental activist discovered a tracking device placed on her car by the FBI. Wired.com and gadget teardown experts iFixit recently acquired and deconstructed the device, giving us a look at a highly sophisticated and secretive (though, by 2011 standards, severely outdated) piece of technology.
The device consists of four main components: a battery pack, GPS antenna, transmission/reception module and magnets to mount it to the car’s frame. The battery pack is a long metal tube (which could easily be mistaken for a pipe bomb) that holds four lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCI2) D cell batteries. The battery pack is designed for applications that draw low power for extended periods of time (10-20 years!).

While certainly cutting edge in 2005, (the now-ubiquitous GPS on mobile phones was then unheard of), six years later the tech seems almost ancient. It tells us less about what the FBI is currently capable of and more about their warrantless surveillance tactics.

Use anything you find in your surroundings as a weapon. Make decisions that influence the entire world around you, take advantage of opponent behavior and game physics, and explo began with a cut-scene that had a very different feel from the previous one. Instead of the tragic undeath of a young girl, we get a scene set in da club. Hip-hop blares (a catchy number from game character Sam B. called “Who Do That Voodoo, Bitch?”), and we weave through the club with the results of our previous drinks evident on the screen. The scene devolves into a montage of blurred out images of destruction. There’s a cool tension created by the fact that the viewer of the scene recognizes that the dead are coming to life and attacking the living, but the main

Is there any way for me to hide this?
I have seen some things where i can turn it from a long antenna to a "Shark Fin" but i want to completely hide it, while still getting a radio signal.
Bend at same curve as the door. If possible , probably place something over it to make it look like its not there , like a decal of favorite team.. or remove the antenna and replace with metal wire that you can hide inside the lining of he door....
