Also I read somewhere (I can't find the link) that the CIA, FBI, and DOD in collaboration with MIT developed a way to track cellphones, even if they were turned off, for a period of up to two weeks using satellite signals and electromagnetic radiation.

But of course the IRS would never abuse such powers.
