If you want to blab without being traced, go to the local public library or netcafe. Some airports now have netcafe's that accept cash without ID.
Watch out for surveillance cams (incl. on public streets) if you're really going to attract uniformed attention.
It's also worth mentioning that many city police departments put IR and hi-res video around town. The Austin PD has several camera suites around town. One is on the top of the police station and monitors 6th Street (the major non-college hangout). Here in Austin we have bicycle cops who sit around using NVG's to catch people urinating in public and throwing up (public intoxication). There are at least a thousand video camera's on the major highways and a handful of primary intersections. Then there are private camera's as well. I have a friend who has 4 channels at 5fpm on a 'secret' webpage that surround his house. And just about every business you go into has video gear, some pointed out the door. It's amazing if you walk around looking for this stuff and keep a list. Anyone doing anything that might attract uniformed attention should be going the major Ninja route... ____________________________________________________________________ Before a larger group can see the virtue of an idea, a smaller group must first understand it.
