[ExI] Tracking Phone Location IDs offenders

[Henrik Ohrstrom]

You need to do more than just buy the phone in an Anon manner. Unless you
always turn it on and off (Bagged in a rf sealed bag) at a random location,
the phone will live at the same adress as you and there you have enough
connection. 3G signals enable location resolution in the order of
apartments and 4G 5G give you rooms or parts thereof.
Anonymity is hard. And suspicious. Be boring instead.
