Here's "Super-secure"

Buy a 5.99 cellie at 7-11

Turn it on under an assumed name from a public computer.

Call in your bomb threat.

Throw phone in ocean.


They'll know where you called from, and the public computer address you
registered it from, and that's about it unless they start doing voice
analysis on the audio from that shitty little mic in the cellie that
cost less than a penny to make.
