As Ewan points out above - pointless.... Want to make terrorist phone calls now? Just bring in a roaming overseas SIM or steal one or fake your identity. The cynic in me says these ideas are made public just to soften us up for the less crazy-sounding, but equally intrusive measures.
The security services can already see where a handset is, hear what is said and check the registration info (for those that require it before use) with relevant warrants. This adds little value for them.
In fact, it feels more like an artificial case to support the adoption of ID cards... "it would be quicker to buy a mobile if you just had to swipe your ID card in the till"

This will not achieve anything, and if it does, it'll be me getting angry, and I'm sure many others too.

I'm really not sure what they think they'll accomplish with such big brotherish schemes - there are always ways for the bad guys to sneak through and all it serves to do is encroach on the rights of the law abiding individual and generally make life difficult. *sighs*
Oh, and for the record, no, I didn't vote for the current government :&)
