"The fake towers force phones to slow down to 2G from 4G, so a sudden decrease in download speed may be a clue that a phone is being tapped." That's f#ing hilarious statement...
You'd be amazed what you can use to detect that somebody is trying something nefarious. Some co-workers of mine wrote code that was not only able to tell when a mobile device was being hit with an nmap scan or other attack, but identify what sort of nmap scan or attack it was... ... based on the drain pattern on the device battery. http://www.security.vt.edu/security_lab/publications.html and look at the "battery" stuff down towards the bottom.
