Good to know—I take my battery out when I travel with my phone, but I don’t know what good it does. Many municipal police stations have a Stingray to “fight terrorism” (although they get abused for much more), so that could demonstrate how someone could tap into a cell phone perhaps even without a battery or as some say, access recorded data once the phone goes back on the network.
