That doesn't make it illegal to do so. *shrug* Plenty of NFR product gets resold. Worst that can happen is they can send you a cease and desist... maybe...

If I were a terrorist, I'd probably want to stay hidden unless I was blowing myself up.

Still don't see how that'd help. The phones real number or the phones cloned number? The receiving phone number would have to be known to have traced it. Since the phone would have blown up, and likely someone else with that carrier is in the area (seeing as terror usually occurs in busy places), and since the phone would be blown up, it may be difficult to tell WHICH phone call to trace. If they WERE able to trace it, they'd trace it correctly even if it was a cloned number. Phone A Number A to Phone B Number B. If they clone it, it still comes over the tower to phone B. THey'd know the locale. If they had plotted terror, I doubt they'd register with legit info. So the phone location is known, that doesn't lead to a suspect. Hell, in criminal cases where legit cells are used there is often difficulty finding a PERSON attached to it. Even when a fixed land phone is used, there can be trouble associating a single person to it. *shrug*
