    I was speaking primarily about email messages.
    You are not using your ISP's NNTP server. Your NNTP service:
    UseNetServer.com, is one of the independents who does not record
    the originating IP address. Although this practice is quite common for
    third party NNTP service, email messages always contain the
    originating IP.

    So they're going to put always-on broadband RF sources in areas where
    they want to prohibit RF sources, is that it?

    No, I don't. They attached the wires, did their thing, detached the
    wires.

    Uh huh. Btw: If the milliwatt-level RF energy from cell phones is so
    disruptive to medical equipment, please explain why hospital security
    staff operate multi-watt hand-held two-way radios in the same
    environment?

    Btw2: Do you know how much hospitals charge for in-room telephones?

    There are good and valid reasons to restrict the operation of cell
    phones in hospitals, but they're more along the lines of why their
    use should be restricted on aircraft, in theaters and restaurants,
    and in other venues where people are too damn stupid and
    inconsiderate to be allowed the freedom of their own judgement.

    Really? Call yourself a police officer.

    I think that, if anyone were to bother to investigate (and that's a
    significant if unless you actually use the claim to some end), you'd
    find there *are* limits.

    Of course there are limits, but you may use any alias name you want to
    identify yourself in any venue, including in person, so long as there's
    no intent to defraud. Doing so to only garner someone's misguided
    attention is not itself a fraudulent act within criminal statutes.
    (Visit any bar on ladies night for examples) So, if JV wants to
    identify himself as a police officer, then he may do so, so long as his
    use of the false identity causes no real harm to anyone, nor provides
    financial gain for himself or another. Now, one person's definition of
    "harm" may very well be different than someone else's, but that would be
    an issue for a court to decide, and the burden of proof would be
    plaintiff's onus.

    FCC re-iterates cell-phone jammers are illegal
    Jun 28, 2005
    WASHINGTON-People who want to use cell-phone jammers to get rid of
    annoying mobile-phone use should think again.
    It is against the law. Those found using, selling, manufacturing or
    distributing cell-phone jammers could be subject to an $11,000-per-day
    fine and seizure of their equipment by the United States Marshals,
    warned the Federal Communications Commission.

    "In response to multiple inquiries concerning the sale and use of
    transmitters designed to prevent, jam or interfere with the operation
    of cellular and PCS telephones, the FCC is issuing this public notice
    to make clear that the marketing, sale or operation of this type of
    equipment is unlawful. Anyone involved with such activities may be
    subject to forfeitures, fines or even criminal prosecution," said the
    FCC.

    We covered this already. I'm a long-time spam fighter and know
    what I'm talking about. Services like SpamCop.net could not
    exist if the originating ISP were not uniquely determinable.

    And there are enough anonymizing open proxies that spammers can abuse that
    often that's not possible. I've been doing the spamfighting thing since
    1996. I'd like to think I know what I'm talking about too.

    It's not impossible in all cases, just many.

    We've both had our say, and our viewpoints really aren't that far apart.
    As a long-time member of SpamCop.net I'd advise anyone who is
    serious about fighting spam or just wants to learn how to interpret
    headers to join that organization.

    It's not a "supposition" or an "opion" -- cellphone jammers are illegal
    in the United States. Period. It is illegal to sell, buy, advertise, or
    operate a cellphone jammer in the United States. Period. See 47 USC
    302a and 47 CFR 2.803 for the details.

    If you operate a cellphone jammer, you are subject to fines of up to
    $11,000 per day under 47 CFR 1.80(b)(3). Whatever reasoning you think
    you have for ignoring those rules, I doubt the FCC or the judge would
    agree.

    If you have an area where you don't want people to use cellphones, the
    only legal way to do it is by constructing a cellphone blocker --
    essentially an enclosure with enough metal in the walls to absorb
    enough of the wavelengths used by cellphones to make them inoperable
    inside the enclosure. Google on the exact phrase "Faraday cage." Since
    a Faraday cage is a passive device that does not interfere with the
    operation of any equipment outside itself, it is not subject to the FCC
    licensing requirements. After all, it's just a metal box.

    If you're still intent on getting a cellphone jammer, I'll leave it to
    the judge to "lecture" you at your sentencing.

    In most (if not all) US jurisdictions impersonating an officer of the courts
    or a government official is most certainly illegal. While many job
    capacities don't have that sort of liability, government jobs like policemen
    certain DO. Granted, the likelihood of being prosecuted for doing it 'in a
    bar on ladies night' is not very high. But get caught stopping that same
    skirt out in the parking lot claiming to be Joe Friday and you'd be on well
    on your way to the lockup.

    None of this conflates to online identities, so please, make use of better
    analogies.

    There's nothing conflated with my analogy. One can identify oneself as
    a police officer without legal retribution (even if one is standing in a
    parking lot), but acting in a capacity of one (aka "stopping") at any
    location *is* deceitful, ergo fraudulent. The difference is...
    identifying oneself as a police officer v. acting in the capacity of a
    police officer. The former may get one laid while the latter may get
    one arrested. Intent is a key component in our criminal statutes, and
    last time I looked, getting laid even under the guise of being a police
    officer was not an criminal offense - the difference is one can get laid
    even if one doesn't identify oneself as a police officer, but one cannot
    legally act in the capacity of a police officer without actually being a
    police officer. You'd be amazed at the number of women that get this
    crap and never ask to see an ID.
