I had to do something highly illegal once, years ago. I didn't want to, I had to, to save someone's life. The one thing I made extra sure was to leave my cellphone at home before boarding my flight, because I sure didn't want the little snitch to pin me where the deed happened.

What's the saying? If you're going to do something stupid, don't do something stupid.
