CID is for civilians - law enforcement uses ANI data because, unlike
CID, it can't be blocked or spoofed, ergo, it's dependable for warrants.
Now, as to your CID issue above, you're right, CID is always passed to
the terminating end of the call, but if the caller has signaled to hide
it, that request *can* be honored. However, if you encounter the
situation you've described, you can also change your mind to allow your
CID data to be used for callback.
Regardless, CID data is neither logged nor stored for any longer than it
takes to handle a call. Long term records (detailed billing, warrants,
etc) use ANI data. Also, if you want to hide your number from
civilians, hide the detailed billing statement too.

*67111552222 will do it. You have to do it on a per call basis though
unless you store all numbers with *67. I think you may also be able t
have cingular disable it for good
