If you're the carrier, and people can hot-swap the SIM, that sounds like a recipe for unsavory activity.
I'm unclear on what unsavory activity would be. Obviously the carriers will be miffed when folks can swap without permission, but the only unsavory activity I can bring to mind is when <gasp!> the terrorists get hold of it. John Ashcroft trembles in his boots.
Of course, the plastic-bubble pay-as-you-go phones are just as good, so long as you activate them from a location unconnected to you.
