Noryungi writes "The New York Times reports that Al Qaeda operatives were tracked using the ID of the GSM phone chips sold by a Swiss company named Swisscom. Very interesting."

Way to go, NYT; now they're gonna abandon email, Internet phone calls, and hand-delivered messages!
Don't tell anybody they sometimes talk to each other in person, they might be reading this.

Thats why I always carry a false ID. I use public internet cafes often with my fake fingerprints and I always leave some skin deposits from my "alternate" on the keyboard. The daily exfoliation in the shower was difficult to adjust to, my skin stays very red for at least 2 hours but I have found some nice cream that seems to be working for the redness and also blocks my natural body oders (not the perfume for your armpits but the kind that will keep bloodhounds from tracking you!)

So can we get the RIAA to track down and prosecute the terrorists for violating John Cage's copyright [cnn.com]?

You forgot the Unibomber and restrictions at the Post Office. The Unibomber has been behind bars for years, but you still cannot drop off a package at the Post Office -- you have to take it inside during normal business hours and wait in line for a human to take it from you -- as if that will stop the next Unibomber!
But you're wrong about TWA 800. It wasn't a Navy missle, it was a meteor. But they can't sue God for sending a meteor into the path of an airplane, so they had to blame Boeing.
