The laws closed that loophole a long time ago. You have to either present a photo ID to buy in a brick and mortar store or sign for the package when delivering to an address.

That is easily avoided, but usually people think of opsec constraints after the fact.

You can buy a phone on amazon right now and not sign for anything.

Does it have a carrier service when it arrives? That is the part that matters. They don't care whether you have a piece of hardware that just sits idle. They don't want people placing phone calls that can't be traced back to an identity that can be physically located and arrested.

Not in the US, am on a burner under a random name right now lol
