Sure it's your right to report it, and it's my right to buy as many as I want, and do wjhatever the hell I want with them.

My 13 yo daughter has one. She is in a travelling camp and is sometimes riding her bike around town. iw ant to keep tabs on her, and control costs at the same time. Prepaids do this well.

What if i was having a big party and wanted to give them away so we could all stay in contact. Am I a friggin terrorist? Why is it any business of Gov't how I didtribute stuff i legally obtained?

If there were some other connection, like illegals, etc, maybe an investigation could be warranted, but simply because someone bought 100 prepaid phones doesn't warrant suspicion in my eyes.

"Sure it's your right to report it,"

Gosh, thanks, but I knew that already. If you buy 100 prepaid cell phones, and I report it, you can expect a visit from a law enforcement person, who will ask you, politely, the reason for your unusual purchase.

Give them your reason, and they'll go away.

If your name is Muhammed, however, they may want to investigate further. If you have a criminal record, they will certainly invesigate further.

Yes, I know it's my right to report suspicious activity. I have done so many times.
