I'm baffled by this

How can we be so dumb to think this works?

NSA collects metadata, then geolocates a sim, then we bomb it despite knowing that terrorists know we are collecting data on their phones and odds are they're constantly changing out.

Oh well, as we continue to pretty much indiscriminately bomb the middle, east, it's easier to just say they hate us for our freedoms.

I think you have it in a nutshell.

I didn't think about it at the time but I sold my Lebanese sim card to the cab driver that was driving me to the airport.

thought it was better to get 10 bucks for the 12 dollars left on the sim card than let it go to waste since it was going to expire in a month

never thought of where it might end up and how it is tied to me since i had to give them info and a picture of me to get the sim card

way off topic but whatever

the defense contracts don't stop if we keep bombing ****
