I'm truly surprised to see Avg Joe using the if you're not doing anything wrong, why do you care about government intrusion on your privacy argument.
If you're not up to no good, why would you care if they recorded all your phone calls and had a camera mounted on your living room wall.
I never said I wasn't up to some no good, at least legally speaking. That, of course, doesn't speak to my morals, it speaks of a few stupid rules that I, as well as a significant percentage of my national neighbors, would like to see changed. A few rules... not all.
Recording my calls would be a waste of taxpayer dollars for the sheer boredom of it. A camera in my living room, as boring as THAT would be, is asking way too much.
I still say that registering pre-paid cell phone numbers is not asking too much. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
