Fake Cell Towers All Over the USA Record Calls and Text Messages! Who is Behind It?

Okay this has me pissed off to no end man! Recently, there haver been 17 fake cell towers discovered across the United States; from Florida to Las Vegas, according to an article printed in Popular Science. According to the article Les Goldsmith, the CEO of ESD America, used ESD's CryptoPhone 500 to detect 17 bogus cellphone towers. ESD is a leading American defense and law enforcement technology provider based in Las Vegas. No cell phone is safe including the very popular IPhone. The towers are so sophisticated that no encryption is strong enough to wart them off. The towers cut through the encryptions like a hot knife through room temperature butter. LOL 
The way these towers work is once they have gained access to your phone it forces your phone to drop down from 3G or 4G network to the old insecure 2 G network. So if you are using your phone near a military base and you notice that it has dropped down to 2g then you are being monitored and should probably make your call somewhere else.So far no one is claiming responsibility for the fake towers. But Les and the article's author doesn't think it is NSA. I bet it is. It sounds like something NSA or Homeland Security would be doing. Who else is brave enough to build these towers and then install them all over the country???  I hope Les finds out who is behind this and he tells everyone so that we can hunt these nosey bitches down and tar and feather them!!! LOL
