Tracking Via Anonymous SIM Cards
Noryungi writes "The New York Times reports that Al Qaeda operatives were tracked using the ID of the GSM phone chips sold by a Swiss company named Swisscom. Very interesting."

for buying 867-5309.
it was the Freemasons that shot down TWA 800.
So they think I am always in my underwear drawer, since that is where the SIM card for my last GSM phone has resided for the last year.
TDMA for life!

a little terrifying, but not so terrifying that i'm going to stop using my cell phone. hey, i don't fit the profile and i only discuss my evil plans back-to-back through a voice modulator. and my secret code is way cooler than thirty seconds of silence.

They also said they had strong indications that terror suspects, alert to the phones' vulnerability, had largely abandoned them for important communications and instead were using e-mail, Internet phone calls and hand-delivered messages.
Way to go, NYT; now they're gonna abandon email, Internet phone calls, and hand-delivered messages!
Don't tell anybody they sometimes talk to each other in person, they might be reading this.
Surely you meant:

I am NaN
Why do you think they call them "cell" phones?

Or made a deposit at the bank... EVERYONE knows they pull fingerprints from checks you deposit. And if you are foolish enough to leave a strain of your hair that may have fallen into the envelope? Well you might as well just buy some guns, scratch off the serial numbers and leave it at a crime scene with a lock of hair.
Thats why I always carry a false ID. I use public internet cafes often with my fake fingerprints and I always leave some skin deposits from my "alternate" on the keyboard. The daily exfoliation in the shower was difficult to adjust to, my skin stays very red for at least 2 hours but I have found some nice cream that seems to be working for the redness and also blocks my natural body oders (not the perfume for your armpits but the kind that will keep bloodhounds from tracking you!)

So can we get the RIAA to track down and prosecute the terrorists for violating John Cage's copyright?
You forgot the Unibomber and restrictions at the Post Office. The Unibomber has been behind bars for years, but you still cannot drop off a package at the Post Office -- you have to take it inside during normal business hours and wait in line for a human to take it from you -- as if that will stop the next Unibomber!
But you're wrong about TWA 800. It wasn't a Navy missle, it was a meteor. But they can't sue God for sending a meteor into the path of an airplane, so they had to blame Boeing.
If all this should have a reason, we would be the last to know.
My cellphone is somewhat odd... everytime the battery is removed, it resets and I must manually set its date.
The default date from scratch is the day WTC was destroyed.
Spooky.
You are who you call
That explains why I keep getting busy signals...
