Is that fairly easy to do? I heard in some countries it is hard to get a sim card without a proper ID. How easy is to get a burner phone in US without raising red flags?
- jxf 10y ago> How easy is to get a burner phone in US without raising red flags? Trivial. I see them all the time at grocery stores, pharmacies, et cetera.
- mmagin 10y agoI thought they started requiring identification to buy those at least 5 years ago.
- skissane 10y agoSuppose a leaker, or even a bad person like a criminal or terrorist, wants to get a burner phone – what is to stop them from paying e.g. a homeless person to do it? (Many homeless people have photo ID, even with valid addresses on them, albeit addresses they haven't actually lived at in a while.)
