The only time I was in the US, 3ish years ago, I bought a SIM card directly at the airport and I paid it with cash without so much as giving my name.

    But were you able to activate it in the US without proof of identity? I'm not saying you didn't, just that it's pre-9/11 that I recall being able to do so, myself.
