Cell phones play a key role in social patterning and organization, helping us to keep in immediate touch with family, friends, lovers and coworkers. Mobile phones thus allow us to feel more secure in emergencies, to play the part of productive worker, loving partner, caring parent, responsible child. Increasingly the cell phone has played a key role in police work, surveillance and asymmetric warfare. Do the requisite detective work and imagine what may be forensically recovered from your lost or stolen SIM chip.
