For that matter, he could just have gotten a phonecard and used a
payphone.  Wearing sunglasses, a wig and a false beard while limping
to and from the payphone would have even rendered surveillance cameras
useless.  Sometimes the way to defeat high-tech policing is with
low-tech measures.  Unfortunately, the terrorists have already figured
this out.
