I'd like to see Verizon and any other company forced by government to hand over customer records do the following.

Figure out how much it will cost the company to comply.  Divide that figure by the number of customers the add it to their bills.  On each bill explain that the new charge is how much per customer it costs the company to comply with the government requirement to hand over their data.  Let people see it's costing them and a few more might take notice.

Most probably don't know that the Gov sent out letters asking people to report others who use CASH amongst innocuous behavior.

Interesting. They destroy all the transactions so they have no proof you purchased the phone. Except for the records they need for their accountant, so they can pay their taxes.

 

Tinfoil hat on. Then they ship it via the USPS, which is the official government parcel tracking system, right? As if UPS and FedEX are not already? Since they are all working together now anyway.

 

Why not go to walmart and buy a cheap phone and a 30 day card? It's cheaper than the 75 bucks for the burner phone, and you can pay in *cash*!

 

Oh crap, I said cash. Now I'm on a list for sure! How dare someone use *cash* !!! lol
