Should Caller ID spoofing be illegal?

It is almost second nature now for many people. When the phone rings, you glance at the Caller I.D. to see who it is. But what if someone could beat the system? It is called Caller I.D. spoofing, and it is readily available online at Web site such as and. The Web sites allow people to chose any number they want to pop up in someone's Caller I.D. 'It's a big concern because Caller I.D. is a valuable tool for customers to be able to screen the calls coming into their home,' said Elmer Prenzlow, of Wisconsin's Consumer Protection Office. There's been some discussion of legislation that would regulate Caller I.D. spoofing that nothing has been passed. The FCC is reportedly looking into it.
