Question

Answer 1

That's interesting - giving medical test results by SMS. I would think it is about as insecure as giving tests by email or by mobile phone however I guess many people communciate that way.

I wonder if people would request this if they knew how easy it was to obtain pager and SMS messages with a scanner. Particularly if they were asking for results about a sexually transmitted infection - is that the STI you are talking about?
