I think it's related maybe to some anti terrorism law? In certain EU countries for example it's impossible to get an anonymous SIM due to some anti terrorism legislation. SSNs are the only legal identification I guess?

This is a random guess off the top of my head. IANAL or know anything specific on US law.

SSN isn't supposed to be used as a form of ID. Even says so on an SS card.

Yeah, about that.

What's IANAL? Is it some new Apple product I don't know about yet?
