firstly, new mexico has taken the trophy home for the past two years for being the dumbest state in the union. secondly, like radar detectors and mod chips, if anyone really wanted to circumvent this "feature", they could. you may be saying, "but nchernyy! radar detectors are illegal in my state and mod chips violate the DMCA!" you would be surprised to find that you can import radar detectors from other states and that you can still get your favourite mod chips online.
Although AT&T does have a valid point that due to the fact that the H2K2 convention is going on, wouldn't it be a good idea to generally be suspicious of people on the phone who claim to be AT&T employees who request proprietary information. Since AT&T deals with a large ammount of sensetive information at any given time I figured that it would be a good idea to be alert at any given time. I mean, thanks to the internet people no longer have to be in one physical place to converge. Just a thought.
