    The real reason behind this may not be terrorism but drug smuggling.


    Marijuana is transported from Marocco through Spain and then distributed in the rest of Europe. The transport of cocaine from South America is also passing through Western Africa at the moment (then through Morocco, and through Spain)


    For those actions, the transporters are using dozen of cell phones and SIM card replaced very regulary to fool the police. Making SIM card and Cellphone a personal thing is definitively not intended to bother the average citizen. Following and taping cell phone from criminal cost a lot of money every year to the police (Operators charge a lot for that)


    A cell phone and phone number is general is a piece of identity, it's just logical to link it with a name.

    What's the big deal? If you are not doing anything illegal, why would you be so opposed to having your name associated with a phone number (Like some sort of book of phone numbers!!)? Just like wire tapping in America, if GW wanted to listen to my girlfriend whine at me about her boss all night, then fine, what do I care. But if my girlfriend calls a terrorist to plot some shit, then they go to jail...and I would so dump her ass.

    @Gokuhouse: Godwin's Law


    Overall, I can't really have much of an issue with this - can someone give me one legitimate reason to have an anonymous cell phone account? I'm all for individual rights, but I don't think this really encroaches upon any of them. (Plus, it's in Spain - which is arguably less "free" than the US to begin with)

    @kaubuchon: I beg your pardon? what makes you think the US is more "free" than any other country? you guys lost all your freedom with the patriot act.
    Please, be a bit more open minded and learn something about the rest of the world.

    @★☆★　Waka　★☆★: Spain has been something of an "incognito police state" since WWII, I don't disagree with your view of the patriot act, but presuming every citizen of the USA needs to be more "open minded" really just makes you look like a jackass when said citizen turns out to know more than you do on the subject.


    Please be a bit less of a douche bag, and don't presume you're the only one who knows anything about the rest of the world.

    "that they used the internet to look beyond local Indian media for information, watching the global reaction in real-time as well."


    So they're narcissistic as well...
