Unless you constantly change your handset and number, they can track a prepaid as easily as a regular phone. Think getting a new phone every day will cut it? No, it is easy as pie to have a software sniffer on people you frequently call and have voice recognition accurately detect your new number as soon as you use it. Most calls go unsecured through IP and can be easily sniffed.
Buying phone cards with “cash” is also getting impossible to do. A great deal of them are activated and send a time stamp to the phone company. All but a few stores now use HD digital surveillance that is often sent through IP. By creatively applying face and iris recognition, the possibilities are endless.
All of the networks, media, devices and software are already available for them. As are the jackbooted thugs. We are always days away from a total police state. All it takes some “event” that will make the sheep and useful idiots give them a green light.
The best way to avoid detection is easy as pie. Just check out what drug dealers are doing.

Paranoia is not a good thing.
I am not worried, anyway.
I have not been in the USSA since 2004.
The phones that I had in central Europe, and now in the
Philippines have never had a name or location connected with them.
I can go into any of a million shops, or roadside stands
and buy time. There is no name or ID associated with mobile phones that are not on contract, as in the USSA.
On top of that, I rarely use my phone, other then a few SMS
of no importance.
I do not think an inane SMS, saying “meet me at the house”,
would have any juicy value to the CIA.
