I agree with you on most of it, but I'm not convinced it's as clear as you say it is. Depending on how this works it may be much more like handing your 'papers'

I agree with you on most of it, but I'm not convinced it's as clear as you say it is. Depending on how this works it may be much more like handing your 'papers' to someone dressed up like a Verizon representative with all the proper paper-work to prove it, but actually happens to be a police officer undercover who isn't going to deliver your papers at all. IMO, the difference in my opinion depends on whether it's just collecting data you were sending out anyway, or if it's pretending to be a cell tower from a specific company and attempting to get your phone to send-out data it normally wouldn't have done.
