New York - (UPI) -- A New York company has created a gadget designed to allow concerned parents and nosy spouses to spy on cell phone text messages.

BrickHouse Security is marketing the machine -- which downloads current and deleted text messages from a phone's SIM card memory chip onto a personal computer.

That is one of the reasons they list in their advertising. I doubt many people will buy it though because it is 150 bucks but if you're really serious into tracking people... It's there.

There really needs to be some revision of law about such matters, I don't think such products should be comercially avilable.
