God. There is nothing I hate more than crappy journalism. Mr McCullagh is
wrong. "Crooks" cannot scan the airwaves and remotely tap into a call via
the methods described by the Smartcard Association people. What they can do
is close the smart card (SIM) inside a GSM phone in several hours if they
obtain physical access to the device.
