>>Logically speaking, someone who just wants a SIM for his personal use, he won’t be bothered about providing his authentic documents to the network, however when someone has dirty business to do, providing authentic documents is definitely on his not-to-do list.
Yet another claim of "You don't need privacy if you have nothing to hide." Does anyone know if the US requires all SIM cards to be "registered"?
