When ABC's senior foreign correspondent Jim Sciutto crossed into Myanmar today from neighboring Thailand the authorities took away his camera. So he filed his report for World News and the webcast, with the next best thing, his cell phone.

Was it an AT&T phone? Did he say anything negative about AT&T? Does he still have service? It's one thing to buck the Burmese authorities, quite another to challenge AT&T.

Probably saved his life by taking the camera away.

I hope to [insert higher power here] that it never happens here.
