In some states (California being the one I know) possession of a blue boxe or plans for a blue box is illegal (502.7 California Penal Code). Actually, this generalizes to any scheme or device to avoid payment of toll charges. But hasn't telecom digest gone through this subject already? ... Phil [Telecom occasionally re-hashes old subjects. If you read 502.7 closely, you will note that with regards to PLANS, only possession for sale, advertisement of, transfer of or offer of are criminal acts. Mere possession (for "educational purposes", no doubt) is not covered. -Elmo]
