Because *actual* criminals wouldn't find a way to acquire other people's SIM cards. Ways such as, oh I don't know, stealing them?
In London, one of the most camera-infested cities in the world, it is estimated that for every thousandth camera, one person gets convicted thanks to camera surveillance per year. Yes. One thousand cameras only help to arrest one person per year. Surveillance is clearly not the solution. -- Skickat från min Android-telefon med K-9 E-post. Ursäkta min fåordighet.

If you don't want to register for a sim card, you can use a public telephone, or call booth (token or whatever). You don't even have to use a phone, you can send a letter thru Post Office. The days of hoodlums using mobile phones, to cheat innocent Ugandans are numbered My only concern is if these big projects (seeming simple to implement), will not become white elephants The terrorists who killed innocent World Cup revellers, disposed their sim cards, while coordinating their devious acts. Sim card registration will ensure these rascals, don't go unpunished. You can live in Utopia, and claim to be a libertarian, but honestly, the reality is Big Brother is here to stay,
