    Your correct that they can spoof these numbers by using "stealing" call forwarding feature on the legitimate phone lines from many places. This is like spam bots covering tracks of the bot master where they take over other computer to send out spam in bot master place. However, just like spam bots you can trace these but it does take a large amount of effort between the phone companies since this can transverse several phone companies and countries. Actually I worked many people to search for bomb threat phone calls to my old company, our legal department said we need to get the FBI, FCC, and the phone company. First they got a court order via FCC to get the records and then traced that to several international phone companies which Interpol via the FBI took care of that, then the trace came back to US and FBI took over that part, and after several months tracing we knew which city that person was living in so FBI monitored that person for awhile before they had sufficient evidence to have a case against them an arrest him. All I can say that person had more than just threats via phone on him.
    First try the FCC to see what they can do:

    I remember talking to a Apple Engineer when the first MacBook Pro and MacBook were coming out the lack of a small format MacBookPro and the Apple Engineer said that MacBook will fill that gap. That was okay when they had good performance, Firewire and Target Disk mode. But now they removed Firewire and Target Disk mode from the MacBooks this will render the MacBook to the "truly" consumer laptop and not a small format MacBookPro. I wish they would release an small format (ie 12 to 13 inch display) MacBookPro to fill this gap and leave the MacBook as a true consumer laptop without the Firewire.
    Many professional loved the 12-inch PowerBook most people complaining about the lack of Firewire is there is no small format MacBookPro.
    Apple, please create an small format MacBookPro.
    Another problem is only glossy display. Please allow us, the people who buy Apple hardware, to decide which display to get.

    However, not all things can be programmed. This is video of A320 that was doing a flyby pass for the press which it should have passed low, straight and level, however, the A320 computer thought it was landing since the landing gear was down, hence the nice landing glide slope, but the computer didn't see the trees in the way so the pilot attempted to over-ride the computer, hence you hear full power from the engines just before they entered the trees, but the plane was too low and became a expensive tree trimmer.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EM0hDchVlY&feature=related
    AirFrance, AirBus, French aviation authorities said it was pilot error. However, they sequester the flight and voice data so we can only assume this fault. Recently someone got a hold of this data and released it and I read the data and voice and I personally think the pilot was not at fault but pilot was having hard time trying to override the computer and manually take over the flight controls.
    Not all computer controlled things are prefect. In this case, to make low pass the landing gear had to be extended, however, this triggers the landing program which at that time needed several items to bypass the landing sequence. Now this can be done with press of two buttons. If you hear the voice recorder you can year the pilots having a very difficult time with trying to bypass the computer for the low pass, hence you seeing the wagging of the plane, just before they enter the tree they finally bypass the computer and order full power and correct flaps to fly out but since they were too low they hit the trees and plowed through the trees and into the ground.
    I used to work on these flight control computers and they are 99.99% good but we, humans, still need to make up the last .0099999999... I love flight computer since they relieve much of flight work but we still need to monitor them to prevent these errors.
