Re: Beepers can also be used to track you down!

There is one way to track someone with a beeper - you call them, leave your number, and trace the call if they call back. It doesn't work for people who only accept calls from certain numbers

true. I don't return pages from wierd or unknown numbers because of the rash of pay-service fraud incidents. (Get a 900-type number in an area that doesn't use '900' or '976'. Make your number a $20 or so charge. Page lots of people with the number.)

loops through the addresses and see who pulls out a beeper and heads

Or you can find out the user->id mapping by bribing/breaking into the paging company, and look for certain numbers being sent as page-strings to certain people.
