    Yes.
    I recall there was a hostage situation right outside of dc in a bank or something like that. I only heard about that because I live 10 miles from where it happened and all my coworkers were talking about it.

    Ofcourse I could go on all day listing hostage situations, school shootings, racial violence, but none of these has the sex appeal of 9/11 . . . .

    Its not selection bias. Its numbers.

    School shootings, bomb threats, mail and building bombs . . . these are all terrorism activities. Which are carried out by people non-Muslim or Arab descent.


    But you already knew that . . . .

    Since when is hijacking an airplane the only form of terrorism?

    I agree. I was expecting to hear some complicated eluding system where the courier didnt use the same cafe twice in a year and often went as far as 50 miles and created a new email address each time composed of some longitude/constellation combination. For a paranoid mastermind, this is full of weaksauce.

    Ah. I'll have to look into this closer to when I can get out of my contract. As I said above, my biggest concern with not going with one of the Big 4 was coverage outside a metro. Thanks.

    Well, im familiar with using wifi in lieu of data plans, but last may when i switched from at&t to sprint, i did so because i wanted plan that was slanted towards data (for navigation) and texting and less call minutes because thats the bulk of my phone usage.

    This was my first smart phone purchase. Sprint offered the best plan out of the "Big 4". I didnt take Virgin Mobile into much consideration because I no one I knew could speak on its reliability outside of a major city. I guess my biggest hangup is I didnt want to pay $300 for a phone that sits in my car 40 hours a week and sits docked at home at like 5:15 every day.

    Your post intrigues me.

    Do you get text messaging in that plan too? And does your data plan include navigation? The reason I switched to Sprint because their everything plan including navigation, so I figured using that instead of a standalone GPS was cheaper and worth it. But I would be up for going to VM if it is what you say it is.

    And as the other reply asked, how are you on Sprint's network with VM? Not calling you a liar, just curious. Thanks.

    Those 2 are nothing alike.

    Im saying if BB wants to tap or monitor you, they wont be foiled by you not having a cell phone so carry on with your life as usual.
    You are saying make yourself easily accessible to be wiretapped. No, just go on your day as usual.

    As far as you know, in 2007, BB may have been following you around for a month and realized you were of no importance to them and left you alone. And you would have been none the wiser.
