Cellphone spam and terrorism

["Richard M. Smith" <rms () computerbytesman com>]

Imagine for a second if some 14-year old kid in Washington DC sent out the
following text message to 50,000 cellphones in the DC area code:

    FEMA Alert:  Anthrax attack in progress -- leave Washington at once.

It's a really bad idea that cellphone email addresses are predictable.
(ie., a cellphone email address is the same as the phone number)
