Talyrand: they forgot nothing and learned nothing!
Oh dear......the NSA spends gazzillions of dollars tracking the citizens who stump up the gazzillions of dollars......and then start to worry that the tracking THEY ARE DOING might be a problem for their own people!!!!

So how about a SIMPLE avoidance scheme for the NSA (at no charge!):
1. Buy a dozen pre-owned phones for cash in the local High Street.
2. Buy two dozen SIMs for cash, with vouchers for minutes also paid for in cash in the local High Street.
3. Make sure that there is no CCTV covering items #1 and #2.
4. Distribute burner phones and burner minutes to spooks.
5. Train said spooks ONLY EVER TO USE SAID BURNER PHONES IN PUBLIC SPACES WITH NO CCTV.
5A. Train said spooks to install SIMS when in a location NOT TRACEABLE TO THE INDIVIDUAL SPOOK (e.g. a coffee shop, an internet cafe)
6. Train said spooks to use said burner phones ONLY EVER TO CALL OTHER SAID BURNER PHONES.
7. Train said spooks to stay off their personal page(s) e.g. Facebook!
8. Repeat from #1 as required.

The real problem (in an age of rampant narcissism) will be items #5, #5A, #6, and #7.
Can I bill someone for consulting advice? ...but then free advice is worth what you pay for it!
