Just read where the law can "ping" a cell phone,
and physically locate it from the reply. Is that
also possible with a wireless PC ???? If so,
imagine the possibilities. I could physically
locate a spammer like the one who keeps asking
me to update my ebay and Amazon accounts :-)
In other words, I could sit there and use something
like "Form F_cker" to enter "account data" about
a 1000 times, and locate the receiver in real time
.... maybe steer a homing device .. or at least
aim a satellite laser cannon .... :-)

It's easier with a wireless PC, and you don't need an IMSI catcher or
access to a private network to send a "still SMS" or something like that.

You can't. This is, because the spammer does not send his SPAM with his
own computer, but with abused computers of others.

Yours,
