My $0.02 from buying SIM cards all over the world, I show them my CostCo Club photo id. In Hong Kong they wrote down my first/last name as "cost co". No one has photocopied the ID yet. Many shops ask for it and then do nothing with it. As explained to me in Belgium, the law says they have to see an ID, not record, write down, and register the sim in your name. Maybe I just found a cool shop by accident. -- Andrew pgp 0x74ED336B *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
